Right to Dream

Right to Dream The Official Right to Dream page. Over the last twenty years, Right to Dream has grown into one of the continent’s leading football academies.
(263)

There are currently 95 boys and girls from across West Africa on full scholarship at the Academy. Our talent development model is comprised of three core areas – football, education and character – and our students have the opportunity to access two main graduate pathways: professional football or student-athlete scholarships to the US and UK. Over the last decade, we have produced over 30 profess

ional footballers, including Ghana Internationals David Accam and Abdul Majeed Waris. Over 40 of our graduates have secured student-athlete scholarships to the US, with graduates like Albert CK Kumah and Oscar Umar, having completed their undergraduate degrees, now working for major global firms. In January 2016, Right to Dream Founder, Tom Vernon, led a consortium of investors to takeover Danish Superliga club, FC Nordsjaelland (FCN), with the visioning of taking FCN to the next level through the development of the Club’s already first-class academy, emphasizing character development, academic excellence with world-class scouting and coaching; and enabling the undoubted football talent in Scandanavia and West Africa to flourish. Several RtD graduates have already signed professional terms with the Danish Club. Right to Dream is pioneering a new model for football development spreading its unique football philosophy and commitment to developing inspirational role models for West Africa and beyond.

“I felt like I was coaching Messi in Ghana.” 🇬🇭🇦🇷

That’s how coach Addo remembers a young Ernest Nuamah.

When Ernest joined Right to Dream at 13, nobody knew where the journey would lead.

Not to FC Nordsjælland 🇩🇰
Not to Lyon 🇫🇷
Not to the Black Stars 🇬🇭
Not to the 🌍

But the people who knew him then remember the same things.

A player driven to keep moving forward ⚡
And a student who never stopped pushing himself 📚

Long , the talent was obvious. The drive behind it was too ✨

From arriving at Right to Dream at just 9 years old to signing his first pro contract with FC Nordsjælland and earning a place with the Black Stars, Caleb's story started long ⭐

Through old photos, memories, and honest conversation, Essien and Caleb revisit the moments, people, and experiences that shaped Caleb into the player and person he is today. 🎙️

He’s 24 years old. And he’s already heading to his second World Cup. 🌍🇬🇭

That’s how most people know Kamaldeen Sulemana.

But it’s only part of the story.

Long , Kamaldeen was already a player who preferred writing his own script. ⚡

A student who went all in on the things he loved. 📚

A winger who believed he could beat anyone.💨

And a young man who learned that talent matters, but patience does too. 🌱

Long , the signs were already there. 👀

He’s an AFCON winner. 🏆 🇨🇮
He’s World Cup-bound. 🌍

But that’s not what the people who knew him first remember most about him.

This is Simon Adingra’s story

For them, Simon was always smiling. 😊
Always learning. 📚
And always looking to improve. 🌱

Long , Simon knew exactly what he wanted.

And he was willing to do the work to get there 🎯

Ghana's youngest World Cup squad member who spent his free time building robots. 🤖🇬🇭

Meet Caleb Yirenkyi. ✨

Most people will see the player.

What they won't see is the student who spent extra time in the robotics lab. 📚
The young man who stayed behind to pick up the cones. ⚽️
The teammate who led by example without asking for recognition. 🤝

Long , the qualities that brought him here were already taking shape. 🌱
