The National Democratic Congress (NDC) intends to reform the decaying Winneba Sports College into a university, if they win the general elections in December.

This was enlisted as one of the ten promises in the party's ''Resetting Ghana'' manifesto, launched in Winneba on Saturday, August 24, 2024.

''We will upgrade the UEW Sports College into a modern sports university offering training programmes in sports, related medicine, science and sports management/administration at campuses around Ghana.''

The party's plan for sports development is anchored on ten points namely;

1. Support the development of Colts, Division One and Two and the Ghana Premier League by augmenting the salaries of all registered footballers with allowances.

2. Undertake emergency refurbishment of pitches, tracks and other facilities at our national stadia in Accra, Kumasi, Tamale, Cape Coast and Sekondi to meet FIFA standards.

3. Pursue our long-standing policy of establishing international standard stadia in all regions.

4. Build more multi-purpose sports facilities to promote regional sporting events and inter-school competitions as part of our talent development policy.

5. Ensure equitable investments in other national teams, such as women’s football teams, parasports teams, juvenile teams and lesser-known sports.

6. Upgrade the UEW Sports College into a modern sports university offering training programmes in sports, related medicine, science and sports management/administration at campuses around Ghana.

7. Establish Sports Centres of Excellence in the northern, middle and southern zones in collaboration with existing universities and the private sector.

8. Support national athletes more consistently to compete internationally and develop postcompetition careers and pension schemes to cater for national athletes.

9. Offer scholarships to promising sports talents and invest in the establishment of sports academies in partnership with the private sector.

10. Support retired sports personalities in pursuing other sports-related careers after an active sporting life
