About Us
Who We Are
We identify talented young athletes and support them towards reaching their full potential through dedicated coaching, outstanding facilities, and the opportunity to compete in prestigious tournaments.
Established in 2013, we currently provide dedicated football coaching to a number of young Ghanaians, who are supported on a scholarship basis, having been identified as exceptionally talented athletes. Our first generation of 26 athletes were selected through a recruitment programme held for over a thousand aspiring young athletes, inviting young boys who had been extensively scouted across the country.
Since then, our athletes span the U11-U18 age categories and regularly compete in local, national, and regional tournaments. Rising Stars of Africa is now considered one of the top African athletes development hubs on the continent.
