Former Black Stars captain André Dede Ayew has thrown his support behind the Constituency Games, describing grassroots investment as essential to developing Ghana’s next generation of sporting talent.
Ayew commended the Ghana–Anhui Chamber for donating 2,120 sports items to support the initiative and create structured opportunities for young athletes across the country.
He stressed the importance of early and sustained investment in young athletes as Ghana seeks to rebuild its sporting future, while calling on corporate institutions, development partners and individuals to support the national initiative.
Ayew’s involvement also served as an inspiration to young athletes, reinforcing the message that talent can emerge from any community when opportunities and the right development pathways are available.
The ceremony brought together key figures from Ghana’s sporting community, the Ghanaian and Chinese business sectors and international organisations.
Those present included Ghana Olympic Committee President Richard Akpokavie, NSA Board Chairman Professor Fred Awaah, NSA Director-General Yaw Ampofo Ankrah, RMPC Chairman Samson Deen, Ghana–Anhui Chamber Chairman Tang Wei, Chinese Societies Association President Tang Hong, United Nations security representative Lihong Shen, and André Ayew.
The Constituency Games are being positioned as a platform to take sporting opportunities to communities across Ghana and ensure that young talents have a pathway to develop their potential.
