Black Stars midfielder Mohammed Kudus is set to make a meaningful return to his roots as he visits his former school, Nima Cluster of Schools, on Monday, June 30, 2025. The West Ham United star, through his KudusDream Foundation in partnership with Skechers, will lead a homecoming event aimed at giving back to the community that helped shape his journey to stardom. This initiative highlights Kudus’ ongoing commitment to supporting educational and sporting development within Ghanaian communities.

During the visit, Kudus will donate football kits, books and essential learning materials to current students of Nima Basic 1. The donation aims to inspire and empower the pupils, providing them with the necessary tools to excel academically and athletically. The event underscores Kudus’ passion for nurturing young talent and fostering opportunities for children in his homeland.

The event, scheduled for 1:00 PM, will feature an inspiring “Moment with the Starboy” session. Kudus will share his personal experiences, recounting his academic journey and athletic pursuits with the pupils. School administrators have also prepared performances and presentations to celebrate their most famous alumnus, creating a festive atmosphere of pride and inspiration.

This homecoming is part of a two-day community engagement effort in Nima, following Kudus’ participation in the Bazaki Football Tournament the previous day. The initiative aims to leave a lasting impact on the youth and the wider community, emphasizing Kudus’ dedication to youth development and sports promotion in Ghana.

The community event will culminate in a special Monday Stars football match, bringing the community together in celebration of talent, hard work, and giving back. Kudus, who has always expressed his desire to see young players realize their dreams, continues to serve as an inspiring role model for Ghanaian youth.

Sports News: WAFCON 2024: Black Queens must be at their best against Mali – Kim Björkegren

Ghana’s head coach, Kim Lars Björkegren, believes his side were the better team in their opening match against South Africa but admits they must raise their level to get a result against Mali in their second Group C game at the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON).

The Black Queens will face Les Aiglonnes of Mali on Thursday, July 11, at the Stade Municipal de Berkane, with kick-off set for 16:00 GMT.

Speaking to the media ahead of the crucial fixture, Björkegren said the team showed promise against the defending champions despite the 2-0 loss.

“[Against South Africa] it wasn’t the result that we wanted, but at the same time we played against a very good team. In the big period of the time we were the better team,” he said.

“We had more shots, we had more shots on goal, we had more corners, we hit the bar twice. They had one VAR penalty and scored, but overall we did pretty well. We just need to leave that game for now and move on, and make sure we do an even better game against Mali.”

Ghana will need a win to keep their hopes of progressing alive, as Mali sit second in the group following a victory over Tanzania in their opening match.
