Ghana's all-time goal scorer Asamoah Gyan has emphasised the crucial role sports has played in his life and will contribute to ensuring the youth realise their dreams. According to Asamoah Gyan, he wants to use his foundations to build sports academies, training centres, and mentorship programs to help nurture talent in sports. The former Ghana International revealed his vision for the youth in a statement titled 'A Vision for Youth Development through Sports and Philanthropy'. 'Sports saved me and gave me purpose. Its power goes beyond winning or losing; it's about overcoming setbacks, pushing through challenges, and believing in dreams. 'I want every young person, no matter their background, to have that same opportunity to realise their greatness,' he said. The former Sunderland striker also renounced belonging to any political party, saying that he hasn't been fair to the youth and people of Ghana. 'This is not about politics; I am fully independent from political influence. This is about children, our communities, and our continent. 'Together, with the support of international organisations, royal families, and philanthropic partners, we can create lasting change that empowers our youth to build the future they deserve,' he said. The Ghanaian football legend also stressed how sports could be used as a tool to unite and inspire the youth for a brighter future. Source: Ghana News Agency
