Yaw Dabo Samuel has revealed that the main reason for establishing a football academy is to support talented footballers who are less privileged.
Yaw Dabo claims he only wants to give back to society and to orphanages and villages to recruit players for his academy.
Yaw Dabo added,
“I have the Dabo Soccer Academy because we have to support others. That’s my dream because, when you get money, you have to give it to somebody because everybody needs help,” he told Marca.
“Me, too. I need help. My brother needs help. So I want to give back to my society to support others. I go to orphanages and I go to the villages to bring talented players to everybody to see that in Ghana we have very talented players.
“A lot of good players are in the academy and go to school. I have workers, coaches and caterers to support the football team. I have everybody. I came to Europe to find a solution to support my academy.”
