We receive meagre funds from govt; we’d have been bankrupt if not for IGF – National Sports Authority

The National Sports Authority (NSA) has hinted that it would have been declared bankrupt by now if not for the innovative internal generation of funds (IGF) it has been embarking on.

Twumasi said that the daily usage charge for the Accra Sports Stadium for events like football Premier League matches was GHS 110,000, and the same figure applied to Kumasi, Cape Coast, and Tamale Sports Stadia per the 2021 Fees and Charges L.I.

The National Sports Authority (NSA) currently operating under the Sports Act, 2016 (Act 934) is mandated to develop, promote and manage all sporting disciplines in Ghana and to oversee the National Teams that participate in international games and competitions.

We pay about GHS 80,000 per month for ECG bills in Accra Sports Stadium alone

We need to understand the workings of National Sports Authority to be able to appreciate its contribution to the development and promotion of sports; and also to be able to engage in constructive discussions aimed at accelerating the development and promotion of sports at both grassroots level and across the over 50 Sports Associations and Federations in Ghana
