The Minister for Sports and Recreation, Hon Kofi Adams on Monday 7th April, 2025 launched the 3rd GHATUSA Games at the Robert Mensah Stadium in Cape Coast and the event is scheduled to be hosted by the Cape Coast Technical University.
The Games is expected to unearth and identify talents for various disciplines from technical University across the country.
Addressing the gathering, Hon. Kofi Adams commended the organizers, the Ghana Technical Universities Sports Association (GHATSUA), for their sustained commitment in nurturing sports talents since the inception of the GHATUSA Games.
According to him, the games would serve not only the competition but also as a critical pipeline for talent identification and preparation for commonwealth and Olympic games.
The Minister acknowledged the challenges facing the sports sector including inadequate infrastructure, insufficient funding, management inefficiencies, and limited grassroots developments, and reiterated his commitment to bring lasting solutions to the challenges.
With these setbacks, President John Dramani Mahama’s administration is committed by resetting the sports ecosystem through infrastructure development and sustained funding mechanisms to promote sports development.
“The Government of Ghana headed by President John Dramani Mahama has plans to actively engage the security services to reserve slots for outstanding athletes identified through competition such as the GHATUSA Games,” he stated.
He hinted of the establishment of the School Sports Agency to help organise major schools events, such as GHATSUA Games, and others to manage and monitor young talents.
