Former Black Stars captain Asamoah Gyan has unveiled new initiatives under the Asamoah Gyan Foundation aimed at discovering and nurturing young football talent across Ghana.
The foundation is set to introduce a number of youth-centred programmes, including football academy projects and a nationwide tournament designed to identify promising players and support their development.
Speaking on Channel One TV’s World Cup Central, Chief Executive Officer of the foundation, Samuel Anim Addo, urged parents whose children show promise and interest in football to engage the foundation early, stressing that early development is key to helping young players succeed.
“If you want your kid to make it, come early. We are praying and believing that those who want us to help them will come early. If you don’t come early, development becomes difficult,” he said.
According to him, the foundation is set to embark on a trip and, upon return, will officially launch a major initiative dubbed The Art of Goal Scoring.
He added that the foundation will also unveil its academy projects in partnership with collaborators, alongside a tournament scheduled to take place after the upcoming World Cup.
Anim Addo emphasised that the foundation remains committed to expanding its impact through football development and youth empowerment.
“We are not going to stop. He has been blessed with the talent, the gift and the aura to inspire and impact. He’s been inspiring generations,” he stated, referring to Asamoah Gyan’s continued commitment to giving back to Ghanaian football.
The initiative is expected to provide young footballers with structured training and development opportunities while helping to identify and nurture the next generation of Ghanaian football stars.
