Ghana’s Faith Soccer Academy impressing on European tour

Published on: 27 April 2022

Faith Soccer Academy (FSA), one of Ghana's finest football outfits, has blitzed Portuguese fans with a series of tantalizing football, outperforming all that they have surveyed thus far.

The team left Ghana for a European tour only a few weeks ago and has endeared themselves to the world with their brand of deluxe football, which has resulted in three wins, one draw, and 11 goals in four games.

The sparkling FSA side started with a 3-1 thrashing of Portuguese youth team Freamunde SC, then crushed Condor SC 5-3 in a thrilling free-scoring game, then drew goalless against Valadares SC before thrashing AD Overanse 3-1, with prolific goal-scorer Emmanuel Owusu Andorful scoring a hat-trick.

FSA, led by Obed Asare, will face Amarante Futbal Clube on Wednesday, who have vowed to stop the Ghanaians.

According to the General Manager and Chief Administrator of FSA, Mr Charway Jacob Oluaka, who doubles as coach of FSA, all the games have been tough, "but my players have contested them with determination, discipline and winning mentality."

"As I told you before we embark on the trip, we're going to sell Ghana's brand of football to the world and that's exactly what my players are doing."

He praised the French Ambassador to Ghana, Madam Anne Sophie Avè and the Head of Missions of the Diaspora African Forum (DAF), Ambassador Dr Erieka Bennett, for their support and motivation to the academy "that has galvanised us to this height."

FSA will leave Portugal in a couple of days to France where they take on the youth side of Montpellier in their first game in that country.
