Ghanaian sports journalist Joseph Adamafio has officially been licensed as a FIFA Football Agent after successfully passing the globally held FIFA Agent Exams in June 2025, a feat he achieved on his very first attempt.
Joseph now joins a select group of certified agents from Ghana, bringing with him years of experience in sports media and athlete storytelling.
A graduate of the University of Media, Arts and Communication – Institute of Journalism (UniMAC-IJ), he also holds a Level 1 Talent Identification certificate from the English Football Association.
Prior to this new chapter, Joseph worked with JoySports and GhanaWeb, and currently runs Sports Update Ghana, a YouTube channel dedicated to promoting young footballers and telling untold stories from Ghana’s sports scene.
Adamafio’s experience involves covering major sporting events, interviewing top players, and consistently spotlighting emerging talent.
Announcing the news on his social media pages on July 12, 2024, Joseph expressed his gratitude for his achievement, emphasising his readiness for the work ahead.
“I want to thank God and everyone who motivated and supported me to make this possible. I’ve conquered the first hurdle and the real work starts now,” he posted.
Speaking about his motivation, Joseph credits his upbringing in Chorkor, the same Accra community that produced Ghana legend Stephen Appiah, as a driving force behind his new pursuit.
“I grew up watching incredibly gifted footballers lose their way simply because they didn’t have access to the right opportunities. I want to change that narrative by using my platform and network to open doors for Ghanaian players,” he shared to the media.
Now stepping into his new role as a certified agent, Joseph is focused on helping young talents navigate the path to professional football and achieve their dreams.
