Asamoah Gyan, the former captain of Ghana, has revealed his intentions to support sports development and nurture young talent in Ghana through his foundations and initiatives.
Once he steps away from politics, Gyan plans to create sports academies and training centers in multiple regions of the country.
Besides improving infrastructure, Gyan aims to establish mentorship programs to assist in advancing young athletes.
“Through the Asamoah Gyan Foundation, the Moah Green Foundation, and the All-Regional Games, we will build sports academies, training centers, and mentorship programs that nurture young talent in all sports. More than that, we’ll emphasize education, character, and life skills to prepare our youth for success beyond the field,” a statement released on September 11, 2024, read.
Gyan pointed out that the initiative aims to enhance the lives of vulnerable individuals by empowering them to excel in sports.
“I want every young person, no matter their background, to have that same opportunity to realize their greatness. This mission is about hope and opening doors for those who feel left behind, giving them the belief that their dreams are possible,” he added.
