Ghanaian actor and football academy owner Yaw Dabo has paid a courtesy call on the Minister for Youth and Sports, Kofi Adams, highlighting his growing influence in grassroots football development.
The meeting focused on the work of the Dabo Soccer Academy, which has become one of Ghana’s most prominent youth football development initiatives.
Dabo, who also serves as a coach and administrator at the academy, briefed the minister on the academy’s progress, challenges, and long-term vision.
According to the minister, Dabo’s efforts represent “a powerful example of private initiative driving national development,” particularly in communities where young people lack access to structured sporting opportunities.
The minister commended the academy for extending its operations to children from orphanages and underprivileged communities, stressing that the Ministry welcomes such interventions and remains open to partnerships that advance youth development.
Dabo, for his part, expressed appreciation for the support and pledged to continue investing in young football talents while expanding access to education and mentorship.
He noted that the academy is committed to unearthing raw potential nationwide and positioning Ghanaian youth for global opportunities.
