On October 1, 2025, the Ghanaian football landscape welcomed a new player in talent development as Kick Nation Sports Agency was officially launched in Accra. The agency, led by its CEO Wu Nam Haruna, son of Ghana’s current Education Minister Hon. Haruna Iddrisu, aims to transform the country’s football scouting system by identifying young talents and connecting them with opportunities abroad.
The event brought together several notable figures from the sporting and entertainment world. Ghanaian football icons such as Asamoah Gyan, Baffour Gyan, Emmanuel Agyemang Badu, and Fatawu Dauda graced the occasion, alongside industry leaders like Baba Sadiq and respected sports journalists. Their presence underscored the significance of Kick Nation’s entry into Ghana’s football ecosystem.
Speaking at the launch, the agency emphasized its mission to unearth raw talent across Ghana and build bridges with established international agencies. By doing so, Kick Nation hopes to create opportunities for players who may not have otherwise had the platform to showcase their abilities on the global stage.
Renowned FIFA agent Oliver Arthur also shared some words of advice with the young CEO, urging him to remain diligent and to ensure transparency in scouting. He cautioned against nepotism, stressing that fairness and meritocracy should guide the agency’s work if it is to succeed in the long term.
Kick Nation highlighted some of its early achievements, noting its role in developing talents like Abdul Fatawu Issahaku, who has already made significant strides in his career. This track record, combined with the agency’s ambitious vision, positions Kick Nation as a potential game-changer in the country’s football development space.
The launch event was not only a celebration but also a statement of intent. With the right guidance, Kick Nation Sports Agency could become a vital pillar in nurturing Ghana’s next generation of football stars.
