Got a new piece up. Looking at GPL Clubs, kits, sponsors, and the money we keep missing out on. Kindly give it a read and let me know what you think. medium.com/p/the-missing-…

Grassroots sport is being priced out. Community fields are becoming commercial venues. Community beaches are turning into commercial/ private spaces. But where does that leave the young talents? The local teams? The community clubs that built these spaces long before profit became the priority? If access now comes with a price tag, then opportunity becomes selective - not inclusive. Sport is supposed to unite, develop, and uplift. Not exclude. If we shut out the grassroots, we don’t just lose players… we lose the future of the game. Let’s protect community spaces. Let’s protect opportunity.

this issue , you need about 500gh to use a pitch for an hr

@_kwansa Ah 😂 I no get that money o so why stress.

@_kobbyna Oh Don

How much are we talking?

@_kwansa Naa bro, above my weight.

@_kobbyna You no go like do am for me?

@Efua_ampofoa @Meezy_Boi Tbh, there’s no grand conspiracy against Cape Coast. What you’re seeing is clearly decisions driven by logistics, economics, perception + leadership. As it stands, there’s no strong, visible push aligning the city’s assets into something that feels commercially alive.

Cape Coast keeps getting ignored anytime there’s a new product launch, a government policy rollout, or even a movie premiere. Everything seems to go to Takoradi instead. Is this intentional, or what exactly is going on?

I have always felt this is the right way to go. Had a few DMs about how to be a coach in Ghana. This can be a good start. Across the unis in Ghana a lot of bright minds that live the game will love to start from here

Alfie Whiteman: 'A Loan’ Our former Academy graduate, who spent 16 years at the club, will launch his debut art exhibition and accompanying photo book at the stadium’s OOF Gallery from 1 May. Covering his 2021 spell on loan at at Swedish side Degerfors IF, the project documents Whiteman's first steps in deviating from the football journey. 🔗 thfc.pro/47PUfxM

For the students studying Sports at the Universities

Bromley getting promoted to League 1 would be an amazing feat. Only their second season in league 2 and they are table topping. It's the type of thing that could really change the landscape of football in South London too

A great example is a player like Mitoma, who spent four years playing in college, reflecting how both Japanese high schools and universities serve as legitimate pathways to the professional game. Underpinning this system is a strong technical foundation built from an early age. Rather than sitting on the bench at a professional club between 18 and 21, players gain valuable experience by competing in hundreds of high-level matches at the university level, where the standard of play is consistently strong.

@AsedaOG Best in that category.

Enya for productivity might be IT🤔🤔🤔

@Kootsebi We can draw that link b/n naming & sporting ambition in our football. It’s worth looking into. More clubs than mentioned reflect strong cultural identity, “Medeama” is one. Even with Dwarfs, the nickname “Ebusua” captures that communal spirit among my Cape people.

Many club names offer no real cultural identity that fans can relate to, especially those in the lower divisions. Only the traditional clubs like Hearts and Kotoko, possess this deep-rooted cultural identity, which makes branding+fan connection far easier and more natural.

The branding crisis in Ghana football begins with the names of many clubs. Observing from the 1960s to now, club naming have gone from imitating European clubs to adopting overtly Christian-themed names, including Young Apostles, Kingdom FC, Basake Holy Stars etc.

I named my firm 4Korner because of a street game we all grew up playing in Ghana. No pitch, no referee, no budget. Just instinct, speed, and whoever showed up. That's still how I operate. And I'm not stopping until the door opens for better business infrastructure in our sports.

I've been building @4kornerInc the past 3 years and served some of the biggest organizations locally and internationally across hospitality, food, tech and sports. This year I led the go-to market and launch of Africa's first Borussia Dortmund International Academy.

You’re building something real. Don’t slow down now.

What the stage designer achieved at the Ye show at sofi speaks to a core philosophy that I believe in, and does it at the grandest level I’ve ever seen. A live concert, or a show, is a singular image. When you attend it, and think back to it years later, that image should pop into your mind. That image is NOT the artist. Not their face. It’s a feeling evoked by a singular image. I’ve tried a blue door, a single ghost light, a tree…but this is just something at another genius level of show design. Think of every concert you’ve ever seen with massive live feeds, massive moving heads, 6000 stage elements, 500 LEDs and pyro and this renders them all gaudy and invalid. It’s grand and expensive, but also so ridiculously simple, a man on top of the world. However you feel about the artist, and there are manu other things to say about him, this is undeniable design vision and the designer has changed the game.

@Babajiide I really need people to orient their perspective correctly. If you give your 100% to a company regardless of their culture and whether they are deserving, you are still the one that benefits. Your skill, grit, contribution and impact are rungs for your professional ladder.

@KobenaLutterodt @Vinyl_Tong @affection_innit He be killer er?
