Actually, the history does not start in Bepong, the home of the academy. It once started in Kumasi, the Ashanti capital. A city, where football is highly honored and loved, where thousands of young players are training on dusty and stony pitches in order to receive an agents' attention for a better future at an international club. One of these players was Awal Yusif. A talented play-making midfielder, who has unbreakable love for the game. Unless his talent is distinctive, the big step to an international career did not happen. Today he is certain about the reason:'I did not get the support from my background that i would have needed. My parents and teachers did not want me to play football, so i could not do it.' But the feeling of disappointment quickly turned into a new feeling of motivation.
