Ex Footballers to Set Up Soccer Complex

Three Ex Footballers to Set Up Ultra Modern Soccer Complex in Brong Ahafo

Three Ex-Ghanaian stars, Anthony Yeboah, Joseph Fameyeh and Nana Darteh are jointly establishing an Ultra Modern Soccer Complex in Techiman Municipality in the Brong Ahafo Region. The academy to be christened Techiman Soccer Academywill unearth talent from the munipality and the surrounding communities and groom them to become stars for the future.

Techiman Municipal which has one of the busiest markets in the country is a hometown of many Ghanaian soccer stars including Ghana International Haminu Dramani. As a ground breaking , the trio have secured sponsorship from an European firm which will supply the Academy with football equipments and also provide finance for the infrastructure. The first batch of the equipments will arrive in Ghana next month according Anthony Yeboah .

The Ex Bofoakwa Tano and Accra Hearts Of Oak defender affectionately called Ember , now a Uefa licensed coach explained that , the project will be in phases. The first face is to get a formidable team to play in Brong Ahafo Division Two League while the second and other phases will be on infrastructure and player development.

According to him , the idea behind this laudable project is not to make money but a social responsibility and also to give opportunity to young and talented footballers . Players who get the opportunity to be recruited into the Academy will be provided free meals which will be supervised by a dietician.
