University of Ghana Homecoming Program!!!

Overview of the Sports Directorate

The Sports Directorate of the University of Ghana was established in 2005. It took over from the Amalgamated Clubs, whose mandate was to organize sports for the students of the University of Ghana.

The upgrading of the University’s sports section is consistent with the University’s corporate strategic plan, which seeks to transform and professionalize human resource practices and review governance for effective and efficient management.  Subsequently, a University of Ghana Sports Advisory Board was constituted, under the Chairmanship of the Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Academic/Student Affairs

The mandate of the new-look Sports Directorate, therefore, is to develop, organize, promote and manage sports in line with the University of Ghana’s corporate strategic plan.

Vision

 To be the institution of choice for recreational and competitive sports; as well as a leader in

  the leisure , fitness and wellness industry.

 Mission 

The Sports Directorate of the University of Ghana seeks to enhance the fitness, health, well-being and  holistic development of students, staff and the University Community, through participation in worthwhile sporting and recreational activities, and will endeavour to become the leader for change in the academic discipline and profession of Sports, in partnership with relevant stakeholders.
