New Campus
The new Right to Dream Sports Academy is being constructed on a 24 acre site, south of the Akosombo Dam in an idyllic, river front location in the Old Akradi area, north west of Adome.
The new Academy will run on a similar model to the existing football Academy where children will be offered five year full scholarships to the Academy in the sports of football, tennis, basketball, athletics, golf and boxing.
Crucially, with the construction of our own facilities we will be able to open up our programme to benefit girls too, something which has not been possible on our existing rented facilities.
The new Right to Dream Sports Academy will provide education, training and facilities coupled with international sporting and education opportunities unrivalled in Ghana.
