Some Ghanaian footballers, as correctly related by Don Bortey sometime ago, sign contracts that are absolutely terrible and unthinkable.
In 2019 the CIES ranked Ghana as the second highest exporter of footballers in Africa. Not many have happy stories to tell.
In view of this Adamu Benin Abdul Karim had a conversation with Reuben Ayarna, an MBA in Sports Management holder from the University College of Northern Denmark.
He has climbed the ladder of both football and education, he laid bare first hand information on the topic.
Mr. Ayarna relayed that most footballers cannot play competitively after 35-years. Hence, acquiring education gives you a plan B to prepare for after football life.
Some players in the Ghana Premier League as well find it a herculean task to be able to express themselves well during interactions with the media. Reuben recounted all these were thought in his educational journey.
Ayarna also recounted that football was considered a job for the street kid as was education some decades gone by.
