The president of Rugby Africa, Herbert Mensah has applauded the kingdom of Morocco for tremendous investments made in sports to groom and nurture home talents.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Mensah was speaking at the Bloomberg New Economy Gateway Africa forum where he was quizzed on the business of sports in Africa.<\/p>\n

An astute sports administrator who has spent over three decades managing football and rugby institutions, Mensah who was recently voted at the helm of Africa’s rugby governing body, has emphasized on the need for governments and international sports bodies to invest more in Africa.<\/p>\n

The Ghanaian has pinpointed Morocco’s success at the 2022 Fifa World Cup as a glaring example of the spinoffs accrued from proper investment in sports.<\/p>\n

“Morocco certainly set the world on fire for people to understand that there are early players whose qualities are born out of where they come from as opposed to elsewhere” Mensah stated.<\/p>\n

“If you have that investment, you can look at football, you look at Hakimi, you look at the goalkeeper Bonu and the rest, we have the same in rugby”<\/p>\n
