Dr. Mohammed Amin Adam, former Finance Minister and Member of Parliament for Karaga Constituency, has announced that the best player, best goalkeeper, and top scorer of the Tumalana Community Games tournament will be given opportunities to attend football trials in Dubai or Qatar.
According to Dr. Adam, the initiative is aimed at helping talented young footballers advance their careers and gain international exposure.
“The best player, best goalkeeper and top scorer will be sent to Dubai or Qatar to help develop their football careers,” he stated.
He emphasized that the Tumalana Community Games are more than a football competition, describing the tournament as a platform for identifying and nurturing sporting talent within the constituency.
Dr. Adam noted that the constituency is home to many promising footballers and highlighted the importance of providing quality facilities to support their development.
“We have football talents in the constituency, as we saw today, and we will discover more in the coming days. They need a comfortable pitch to play on, and that is why we built this astroturf,” he said.
The Karaga MP also reaffirmed his commitment to promoting football development in the area, revealing that three astroturf pitches have already been constructed, with another currently under development.
“Whatever I can do to ensure that footballers from this constituency are developed, I will do. We have built about three of these astroturfs and construction of another one is ongoing. I want to ensure that next year our community games can be played simultaneously across the constituency,” he explained.
Dr. Adam further claimed that Karaga has one of the highest numbers of astroturf facilities in Ghana, outside the national capital.
“Apart from Accra, no constituency in Ghana has more than two astroturfs — except Karaga,” he revealed.
He encouraged participants to take advantage of the tournament by showcasing their talents, stressing that football could provide opportunities for personal growth and financial support for their families.
“When they go outside the country, they will also develop themselves and be able to support their families,” he added.
Dr. Adam also called on residents to maintain peace and unity, noting that a stable environment is essential for attracting more development projects to the constituency
