 AfCFTA, National Sports Museum

The President of the AfCFTA Young Entrepreneurs Federation, Hissan Siita Sofo, has been appointed as a member of a newly-inaugurated 15-member Inter-Institutional Joint Committee tasked with establishing Ghana’s first National Sports Museum.

The committee was officially inaugurated by the Minister for Sports and Recreation, Kofi Adams, at a ceremony held at the Ministry’s conference room. The initiative forms part of government efforts to preserve Ghana’s rich sporting heritage and promote sports tourism.

Siita Sofo’s inclusion on the committee indicates the growing recognition of youth-led entrepreneurial organizations in national development. As President of AfYEF, he has been instrumental in championing youth empowerment, innovation, and cross-border business opportunities across Africa.

Speaking during the inauguration, the Minister underscored the importance of the proposed museum as a hub for education, research, and inspiration. He noted that the facility would document Ghana’s sporting journey while motivating future generations to excel.

The committee has been given a 90-day mandate to develop a comprehensive framework for the establishment and operationalization of the museum. Key responsibilities include identifying a suitable location, designing the facility, and curating exhibits that reflect the achievements of Ghanaian athletes across various disciplines.

Siita Sofo, alongside other committee members drawn from key institutions such as the Ghana Tourism Authority, Ghana Museums and Monuments Board and the National Sports Authority, is expected to contribute his expertise toward ensuring the successful realisation of the project.

The establishment of the National Sports Museum is expected to boost sports tourism, strengthen national identity, and celebrate Ghana’s sporting legacy.

It is the second time in just months that Siita Sofo has received an appointment to undertake a national assignment. In January this year, the seasoned entrepreneur was appointed to the Board Committee of the Ghana Creative Arts Agency.

His appointments are seen as a step in bridging youth entrepreneurship with national heritage and creative development.
