‘We let the athletes down’ – NSA boss on Ghana’s Commonwealth Games campaign

For Ampofo, the experience should serve as a wake-up call for Ghana’s sporting authorities rather than another occasion to shift blame onto athletes.

Director General of the National Sports Authority (NSA) Yaw Ampofo Ankrah has admitted that the nation’s sporting authorities must take responsibility for the poor showing at the 2026 Commonwealth Games.“In this case, listening to them, there were a lot of things that they felt could have been done better, and we need to also engage more and listen to the athletes and the coaches more, rather than imposing certain things on them,” Ampofo said.
