Renowned sports broadcaster and astute businessman, Mohammed Alhassan, has called for a comprehensive five-year sports development plan to revitalize Ghana's sporting landscape.
Alhassan, a former head of sports at the influential Radio Gold, believes a well-structured and adequately funded plan is crucial to salvaging the image of Ghanaian sports, which has faced recent challenges such as limited international success, inadequate infrastructure, and inconsistent funding.
In a recent interview, Alhassan outlined the key pillars of a strategic plan for Ghanaian sports development from 2025 to 2029: Talent Identification and Development: Grassroots Development: Invest heavily in programs to identify and nurture young talent across various sports disciplines.
Elite Athlete Support: Provide comprehensive support systems for elite athletes, including access to world-class training facilities, nutritionists, and sports psychologists.
