Balancing both academics and football, the younger Bortey has achieved a significant milestone by obtaining a degree while pursuing his passion for the sport.

Four years ago, his father, Bernard Dong Bortey revealed that his first child who he’s named after himself is a footballer and is a student at the University of Ghana.

Dong Bortey expressed that his son’s desire to pursue education first, instead of professional football, was because of the mistakes he (Don Bortey) made in the past which resulted in some turbulent transfer deals.

He noted that he wanted his son to be an educated footballer to ensure he makes wise decisions in his career when negotiating a deal.
