GRFU President Attends World Rugby General Assembly and Women’s Rugby Global Summit

The President of the Ghana Rugby Football Union (GRFU), Ms. Rafatu Inusah, has represented Ghana at two prestigious international rugby events in London: the 17th World Rugby General Assembly (September 24, 2025, at Guildhall, City of London) and the Women’s Rugby Global Summit (September 25–26, 2025, at the Science Museum, London).

The World Rugby General Assembly brought together union leaders and stakeholders from across the globe to deliberate on governance, structures, and strategies for strengthening rugby’s future. Ms. Inusah’s presence ensured that Ghana’s voice and by extension, the perspectives of African rugby were reflected in these key discussions, reaffirming the Union’s dedication to governance excellence, transparency and collaboration.

Following the Assembly, Ms. Inusah joined more than 400 senior leaders, administrators, and industry experts at the Women’s Rugby Global Summit, themed “Powering Women’s Rugby.”

The Summit explored how maximising opportunities for women and girls, on and off the field, can drive the sport’s growth worldwide. Sessions focused on unlocking commercial potential, increasing participation, enhancing visibility, and leveraging partnerships to create sustainable structures for the women’s game

As one of the few women leading a national rugby union federation globally, Ms. Inusah’s representation was both significant and symbolic. It demonstrated Ghana Rugby’s firm commitment to advancing women’s rugby domestically while contributing meaningfully to international conversations on equity, participation, and leadership.

“Representing Ghana at these international platforms is both an honour and a responsibility,” Ms. Inusah stated. “It is crucial for Ghana Rugby to remain part of the global dialogue as we work to build a sustainable and inclusive future for the sport in our country and across Africa.”

The Ghana Rugby Football Union remains committed to leveraging these global engagements to strengthen its structures, develop grassroots pathways, and expand opportunities for athletes, coaches, and administrators — with a particular emphasis on the growth of women’s rugby.
