Former UEFA Champions League winner Ryan Bertrand to visit Ghana

Former UEFA Champions League winner and English international football star, Ryan Bertrand, is set to visit Ghana on October 18, 2023.

The visit is being hosted by Koppan Sports Agency, a distinguished Ghanaian-owned sports agency.

Bertrand, renowned for his illustrious career at Chelsea, Aston Villa, and Southampton, is scheduled to pay visits to selected lower-division clubs to interact with young players. He will also make a few donations whilst in the country.

The visit is aimed at forging a collaborative partnership between Bertrand and Koppan Sports Agency to bolster the football landscape in Ghana.

Bertrand is passionate about combining sports with purpose and has an ambition to use sports to make a positive social impact across Africa. He has chosen to partner Edwin Koranteng, CEO and Founder of The KOPPAN Group to carry out this mission.

Koppan Sports Agency has in the last 10years specialized in identifying, marketing, and representing football players on a global scale. Their dedicated scouts traverse the length and breadth of the country in search of emerging talents. Notable players represented by Koppan Sports include Michael Enu (Bibiani Gold Stars), Matthew Ofori Dunga (formerly of Accra Great Olympics), and Fatawu Ganiwu (Sporting Avranches: Ghana U17).

Koppan Sports eagerly anticipates the positive impact this partnership will have on the future of football in Ghana.

The President for Koppan Sports, Dela Jnr Quayson said: “Koppan sports have had a good relationship with Ryan and his team for some months now, and the Koppan Sports team are looking forward to make the visit an impactful one.”
