Minister of Sports and Recreation, Kofi Adams, has stated that President of Ghana, John Dramani Mahama, is interested in sports and has already shown this via his decision to restructure the sports ministry.

Following his inauguration as President of Ghana, John Mahama, changed the Ministry of Youth and Sports to the Ministry of Sports and Recreation.

Speaking at a meeting with players, coaches and executives of the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) Female Hockey Team and executives of the Ghana Hockey Federation, Sports Minister Kofi Adams, highlighted this while praising the GRA Ladies for winning the 2025 Africa for Club Championship.

“I know he (President John Mahama) is a lover of sports and that explains why even at the time he was promising to downsize, to reduce the number of ministries and the number of ministers, he saw the need to decouple youth (ministry) from sports (ministry) to give it a certain level of attention.”
