As a licensed FIFA football agent and a passionate sports entrepreneur, I believe education is just as important as football. That’s why I joined our partner club, Hope Academy Football Club in Tamale, for three days powerful campaign titled “No Education, No Football.”
We embarked on school visits to meet players of Hope Academy at their respective schools. The goal was simple to check on their academic performance and have meaningful discussions with their teachers. This initiative gave us firsthand insight into the players’ commitment to their studies and allowed us to offer encouragement and guidance.
We took the opportunity to remind the young talents that in today’s football world, formal education is not optional it’s essential. Whether it’s understanding contracts, dealing with international agents, or planning life after football, education provides the foundation every athlete needs.
The teachers we interacted with were highly supportive and praised the initiative. They encouraged us to continue these efforts, highlighting how such engagements help reinforce the importance of balancing academics with sports.
No Education, No Football is more than a slogan it’s a movement to raise disciplined, educated, and well-rounded footballers who can thrive on and off the pitch.
