Principal of Hald Ege Efterskole, Erik Junker has expressed his delight to be partnering former Ghana striker Razak Pimpong ahead of the reopening of his summer school.
Pimpong, who enjoyed spells with clubs such as FC Midtjylland, FC Copenhagen and Viborg FF in Denmark during his active career, is set to reopen his Pimpong Talent School for 2020.
The Pimpong Talent School, which is taking place for the sixth year in a row, is expected to attract 40 local sponsors.
The 37-year-old announced that for the second successive year, Hald Ege Efterskole will be one of the main sponsors.
"We are so pleased that Erik Junker from Hald Ege Efterskole again this year has agreed to be the main sponsor of Pimpong's Talent School."
"Hald Ege Efterskole will again form the framework around football school in week 42, where we can gladly welcome the coolest football girls and boys to three days with lots of football on the program."
Erik Junker took the opportunity to shower praises on Pimpong for his vision and dedication to help children at Hald Ege Efterskole.
"Razak is a super-spreader. He's contagious. But he only inflicts with good things: commitment, mood and joy. Both in football but also in life. And then he has the wisdom his own life's journey has given him. That's why we are proud to host Pimpong's Talent School - there is a formation in it that aligns so well with what we otherwise want at Hald Ege Efterskole," says Erik Junker.

Hald Ege Efterskole danner igen i år rammerne omkring fodboldskolen i uge 42, hvor vi med glæde kan byde de sejeste fodboldpiger og -drenge velkommen til tre dage med masser af fodbold på programmet. Men hvorfor vælger efterskolen at bakke op omkring talentskolen? ?-Razak er en superspreder. Han smitter. Men han smitter kun med gode ting: Engagement, humør og glæde. Både ved fodbold men også ved livet. Og så har han den visdom, hans eget livs rejse har givet ham. Derfor er vi stolte over at være værter for Pimpongs Talent Skole – der ligger en dannelse i det, der flugter så fint med det vi i øvrigt vil på Hald Ege Efterskole, fortæller Erik Junker. @heefterskole

The former Great Olympics frontman was also a member of the Black Stars squad that played at the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany.
