Citizens Football Academy came into existence on 13th April 2018 with concerns of young Ghanaian football players who lack support in pursuing their career, the crisis of fatherlessness, and; lack parental and family support in the Ghanaian society. For instance, most children are growing up without parental support in their homes.

The lack of positive, male role models is a root cause of cycles of alcoholism, drug addiction, gender inequality, corruption, and more. We want every child leaving Bechem as well as Ghana as a country to be holistically mentored to be a leader, professionally developed to be a footballer, and uniquely educated to reach their academic potential.
