Dabo and his academy players
Ghanaian actor and football academy owner Yaw Dabo has sent two players from his academy to France for trials. The actor, who ventured into football, established his academy in 2020 to help develop and nurture young talent.
In a video shared on X by Zion Felix on April 15, 2025, Dabo was seen with the two academy players and their guardians at Kotoka International Airport, preparing to board a flight.
This opportunity for the two academy players stems from Dabo’s recent European tour, during which he visited several top clubs, including FC Nantes in France.
During the tour, Dabo engaged with club officials, leveraging the platform to build connections and highlight the potential of his academy.
The trials in France are a direct outcome of the relationships he cultivated during this tour, demonstrating his growing influence in linking Ghanaian grassroots talent with European opportunities.
Dabo continues to create opportunities for young Ghanaian players. This latest move adds to his impressive record of giving promising footballers international exposure and a chance to pursue professional careers abroad.
