Frank Appiah Kusi, PhD: Governance Gaps, Transparency, and the Business of Football in Ghana

The experiences of Nigeria, South Africa, England, and Germany highlight the importance of transparency, accountability, and diversification in football governance.

More so, the exclusion of the National Sports Authority (NSA)—the statutory body mandated to oversee all sport in Ghana—raises critical questions about transparency and the business of football.

By learning from Nigeria, South Africa, England, and Germany, Ghana can transform football into a sustainable industry that attracts sponsorship, strengthens grassroots development, and restores the Black Stars’ continental reputation.
