“No Ghanaian Talent Should Go Unseen” — Samson Deen Leads NSA Committee’s Push for Inclusive Sports Development
The newly established NSA Resource Mobilisation & Partnership Committee, chaired by sports administrator Samson Deen, has set its sights on mobilising resources and building strategic partnerships to create greater opportunities for sports development across Ghana.
The committee was established as part of efforts by the National Sports Authority (NSA) to strengthen its resource mobilisation drive, deepen collaboration with corporate Ghana, development partners and other stakeholders, and ensure that sports facilities, athletes and sporting programmes receive the support needed to thrive.
Speaking on the vision behind the committee, Chairperson Samson Deen emphasised the importance of ensuring that talent is discovered and supported regardless of where it comes from.
“No Ghanaian talent should go unseen simply because of the town, village, or city they were born in.”
The statement reflects the committee’s broader objective of promoting inclusivity and creating a more sustainable pathway for talented young Ghanaians, particularly those from communities where access to sporting infrastructure, equipment, funding and professional opportunities remains limited.
The committee is expected to engage businesses, private investors, development organisations, philanthropists and other partners to identify new avenues for financing and supporting sports development.
Its work will focus on building partnerships that can contribute to the development and maintenance of sporting infrastructure, talent identification, grassroots sports programmes, athlete development and other initiatives under the NSA.
By bringing together stakeholders from the public and private sectors, the committee seeks to create a stronger ecosystem in which Ghanaian athletes can develop their abilities and compete at the highest level.
The initiative also comes at a time when there is growing recognition of the need for sustainable financing in Ghanaian sports. Beyond government funding, strategic partnerships and corporate support are increasingly important in providing athletes and sporting institutions with the resources required to achieve long-term success.
Under Samson Deen’s leadership, the committee is expected to pursue partnerships that go beyond short-term sponsorships, with an emphasis on sustainable collaborations capable of delivering lasting benefits to Ghana’s sporting community.
The committee’s establishment therefore represents a significant step towards strengthening the NSA’s resource base while ensuring that sporting opportunities are extended beyond Ghana’s major cities to communities across the country.
For Samson Deen and the committee, the ultimate goal is clear: wherever talent exists in Ghana, there must be an opportunity for that talent to be discovered, developed and given a platform to shine.
