Three of the players of the Kenpong Football Academy with JE Sarpong before their departure
The rapidly growing football outfit, Kenpong Academy, has sent four promising talents to Europe, specifically to Belgium and Denmark.
The quartet—Nuhu Abdul Razak (bound for Norway), Daniel Abrefa Asiedu, Boateng Prince Ofori, and Smith Yankyerah—departed from Accra yesterday and are expected to arrive at their respective destinations today.
Prior to their departure, Kenpong Academy’s head coach, JE Sarpong, accompanied the players to visit former Ghanaian President John Agyekum Kufuor, the Academy’s patron, at his Peduase Lodge residence to seek his blessings.
This trip marks one of several international ventures the Academy has undertaken in recent months. According to Coach Sarpong and his deputy, Felix Aboagye—a former Black Stars and Zamalek winger—more players are slated to travel to various European destinations soon.
From its humble beginnings, the Winneba-based academy has steadily risen, excelling in its daily operations. It is poised to become a key reference point and a vital pipeline for supplying talent to both local and international football markets.
The Academy’s founding president, Kennedy Agyepong (Kenpong), who is currently on a European tour with his foreign partner, Adam Kwarasey—a former Black Stars goalkeeper—attributes the success in nurturing young talents to the robust structures established at the Academy.
