Asamoah Gyan says he has enough experience and the techniques to contribute to sports after being appointed as a member of Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia’s manifesto committee ahead of the 2024 General Elections.
Reacting to the announcement, Gyan took to his official social media account to express his enthusiasm for expanding sports beyond football and contributing to the growth of the industry.
Reflecting on his career, Gyan emphasised his wealth of experience and skills that could be valuable in elevating sports in Ghana. He stated, “When I look back at my career, my highs, my low, my failures, and my success, I think I have enough experience and the techniques to contribute in sports.
“I always ask myself, how do we create change if we don’t want to change? How do we spectate without being on the bench, and how do we score without being on the field?… All I know and will ever know, all I love and will ever love is SPORTS.”
Gyan’s appointment as the sub-committee chair for youth and sports aligns with his recent call for sports legends to unite and use their influence, networks, and resources to attract investors into the country.
