In every generation, Africa produces a sports visionary who isn’t just shaping competition, but rewriting the entire system around it. Today, that figure is Sandy Amoako - the new Director of Sports at The Voice of Africa (TVOA) - a man whose work, legacy, and eye for talent already place him among the most influential sports minds on the continent.

If Africa is the next frontier of global sports, Sandy is the architect building the door.

From Wheelchair Basketball to Global Sports Leadership - A Legacy Rooted in Impact

Sandy’s rise began far from bright lights or big stadiums. As Media Coordinator for the Ghana Wheelchair Basketball Federation (2015–2020), he championed athletes with disabilities, pushing them onto mainstream platforms where they had long been ignored. His work didn’t just generate headlines. It changed policy, shifted attitudes, and forced federations to treat athletes with the dignity they deserve.

His commitment carried him into a groundbreaking partnership with Yale University’s Equity Sports Lab, where Sandy became a leading voice researching abuse and systemic challenges faced by disabled athletes in Ghana. In 2019, he co-led the first-ever wheelchair basketball clinic with Yale and Southern Connecticut University - a historic moment in African sports advocacy.

Sandy has always stood up for the overlooked. Now, he is standing up for Africa.

The Scout Behind Today’s Future Stars

Sandy’s sports eye is unmatched. A freelance TV pundit, soccer and basketball scout, and leadership mentor, he has worked with over 100 male and female athletes between Ghana and the United States - guiding them on and off the court, shaping character as much as talent.

His résumé reads like the blueprint of a global sports executive:

• Coordinator & Match Commissioner, Tema Community Basketball League (2016–2021)
  Under his leadership, the league expanded from 6 teams to 15 in four years. One team - Spintex Knights - now represents Ghana at the BAL, proving Sandy built real pipelines, not just leagues.
• Coordinator for Rite Sports Ghana, strengthening grassroots sports development.
• Clinic Coordinator & Scout for NBA and WNBA greats, including:
  • Serge Ibaka (2015)
  • Chris Bosh (2014)
  • David West
  • Luol Deng (2010)
  • Gorgui Dieng
  • TJ Warren (2019)
  • Angel McCoughtry (2019)

This is not normal résumé material. This is a catalogue of someone shaping African sports at every level grassroots, national, and global.

A Journalist With Global Credentials

Sandy’s influence extends to the media world, too.

He covered the 2009 World Cup Qualifier in Sudan from the commentary box in the 43,000-seat Al-Merrikh Stadium, and he was on the ground as a freelance sports journalist during the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa.

Not many people can say they’ve lived inside Africa’s most historic sports moments. Sandy can.

Now at TVOA SPORTS - Building the Future of African Talent

With Sandy at the helm, TVOA Sports is becoming Africa’s next sports empire.

His mission is bold:

Turn TVOA Sports into the continent’s #1 talent recruitment and discovery agency.

Africa is overflowing with generational athletes - from Khaman Maluach to the next 10,000 undiscovered stars hidden across cities, villages, and courts nobody is watching. Sandy’s goal is to find them, spotlight them, and help them reach the world.

The TVOA Sports Expansion Under His Leadership

Under Sandy, TVOA Sports is scaling faster than any platform in the continent’s media space:

Why Sandy Is Bigger Than “Sports Director”

You don’t bring someone like Sandy to run a department.
You bring him to build a movement.

He combines:

• the advocacy of a reformer,
• the scouting eye of a veteran recruiter,
• the communication skill of a journalist,
• the network of an international sports executive.

Africa has always had talent.
Now it finally has the infrastructure — and the right man — to take that talent global.

Under Sandy’s leadership, TVOA Sports isn’t just joining the conversation. It’s redefining it.

This is the era of African sports.

This is the era of Sandy Amoako.
