The National Sports Authority (NSA) has entered into a partnership with Just Keep Going Inc. (JKG) to introduce Artificial Intelligence (AI) and blockchain technology into Ghana’s sports sector.
The agreement seeks to modernize athlete management, improve transparency, and make operations within sports federations more efficient.
It will also help attract global investment and create sustainable funding opportunities for all 54 national sports federations.
According to the NSA, the partnership marks a major step toward digitizing Ghana’s sports administration and positioning the country as a leader in sports technology across Africa.
Founder and CEO of Just Keep Going Inc., Kevin Frey who also serves on the International Board of Ethics for Artificial Intelligence, said the collaboration would create a transparent and tech-driven sports system.
“We’re building a transparent, tech-driven ecosystem that empowers athletes and opens new channels for global sponsors and partners. With purpose-built digital platforms designed to streamline onboarding and collaboration, Just Keep Going is positioning Ghana as a model for how technology can transform sport and investment,” Frey stated.
Director General of the National Sports Authority, Yaw Ampofo Ankrah, described the partnership as a move toward trust, innovation, and empowerment.
“This partnership is more than technology. it’s about trust, innovation, and empowerment. We’re opening Ghana’s sports sector to new possibilities, giving our athletes and young population the tools to compete globally while ensuring our systems remain transparent and accountable,” he explained.
The project will use AI and blockchain to improve sports governance, track athlete performance, and establish transparent sponsorship systems that link local and international partners.
It will cover disciplines including football, boxing, athletics, basketball, rugby, weightlifting, and many others.
The NSA and JKG believe the partnership will not only enhance sports development but also make Ghana a model for how innovation can drive progress in the global sports industry.

The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has taken note of public allegations of extortion and related conduct made against the Minority Leader of Parliament, Alexander Afenyo-Markin.
The allegations were made by the Chief Executive of the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod), Sammy Gyamfi.
In a brief statement, the OSP said it has also received a joint petition submitted by two persons, as well as two separate petitions from other persons, in relation to the same allegations.
“Given the nature of the allegations, the OSP will assess the case and determine whether it falls within its statutory mandate and whether further investigative action is warranted,” the statement said.
The development comes amid a heated public feud between the Minority in Parliament and the leadership of GoldBod over the operations of the Domestic Gold Purchase Programme.
The Minority, led by Afenyo-Markin, has accused GoldBod and the Bank of Ghana of causing a loss of over $1.7 billion, citing the International Monetary Fund’s August 2026 report. The Minority has vowed to pursue the matter as Parliament has reconvened for an emergency sitting.
GoldBod, on the other hand, has rejected claims by some NPP MPs, including Tano South MP Dr Gideon Boako, that it owes the Bank of Ghana GH¢1 billion in overdrafts, describing the claim as “false and malicious.”
In the latest twist, GoldBod CEO Sammy Gyamfi has accused the Minority Leader of extortion and related conduct, an allegation that has triggered petitions to the OSP.
The OSP is mandated under Act 959 to investigate and prosecute specific cases of alleged or suspected corruption and corruption-related offences involving public officers and politically exposed persons.

General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Justin Kodua Frimpong, has filed his nomination to contest the position of General Secretary again as the party begins its rebuilding efforts ahead of the 2028 general elections.
He was accompanied by party stalwarts and supporters who were in high spirits, expressing confidence that he is the right person to hold the position.
Speaking after filing his nomination, Mr Kodua Frimpong assured the rank and file of the party that he would not disappoint them.
“I can assure you that the faith the rank and file of the party have had in me, I will never disappoint them,” he said.
He also pledged to run a clean campaign devoid of personal attacks.
“I can assure you that our internal campaign will be devoid of personal attacks,” he told his fellow contestants and the rank and file of the party as he seeks to retain his position.
His tenure has seen the party through the 2024 general elections, where the NPP lost power to the National Democratic Congress (NDC) after eight years in government.
The party is currently in a rebuilding phase, with internal elections scheduled to elect new national executives to lead its reorganization towards the 2028 polls.
The General Secretary position is considered one of the most influential in the party’s administrative structure, responsible for the day-to-day running of the party secretariat and implementation of party decisions.
