The Gomoa Fetteh Feyenoord Football academy in Ghana will be 7 years on 0ctober 23rd this year. Having won dozens of silverwares from various invitational tournament (local and abroad) and three years of premier league football, the school?s primary objective will be to produce football supernovas for the various national teams.

And if their statement of account now is anything to go by, then one will not err tagging them as one of the productive organizations in the country.

Their facilities and tutelage are sending signals far. Their rival in the sub-region is the ASEC football academy in Ivory Coast.

One of the youngsters who has been groomed in the Fetteh stables is 20-year-old Nana Kwesi Asare.

The young offensive midfielder, and occasionally played as a left winger, has really proved he has an ounce of genius in his boots.

His sultry skills, busting pace, irrepressible confidence and defence splitting passes has been rewarded with the captain band of his club, KV Mechelen in the Belgian 2e Klasse (Ghana?s version of the division one league) for this season.

Nana is brimming with promising prospects of playing top tier football and has targeted CAN 2008.

In his second season for Mechelen, Nana Kwasi, recuperated from an injury to be voted as the most popular player in the 2e Klasse league and his award was champagne and a bouquet of flowers.

His sojourn in Europe started in 2004 where he was attached to Antwerp football club in the Jupiler league at the age of 18.

He then moved to his recent club after one season where he has blossomed to polish his football skills. He?s so far skippered Mechelen to the third spot out of eight games in the league for a possible promotion to the premier league and capped his virtuoso performance with a goal.

He was identified in 1998 by the technical team of Fetteh Feyenoord headed by diamond-in-the-rough polisher, Sam Arday. It was during the 1998 Regional under-12 football festival in Kumasi.

Then a player of Kumasi Cornerstones, he played for the host region and later crowned champions, Ashanti. Interestingly, he played as a defender in the tournament and was adjudged the best defender of the tourney. He played only four matches for the soccer academicians during their debut in the 2004 Novelty premier league.

At 20, he started fraternizing with his role models as he played for the Black Stars in their World Cup warm-up matches against French ligue 1 side Nice and Bundesliga outfit Stuttgart. He put up a superlative performance to receive laudatory remarks from the Ghana Football Association chairman Kwesi Nyantakyi.

With this modest achievement of this budding star, he has immutably given credence to the popular saying: ABILITY BUT NOT AGE. He has received several offers from some Jupiler league sides and Eredivisie sides but the young chap is targeting a move to the premiership
