It is one thing being talented and it is another thing working hard to exhibit that gift for the world to see.

Many are gifted footballers but few have had the opportunity to be nurtured to reach a higher level.

Talent is in abundance in Ghana but it takes the right person to carefully guide you to achieve a dream of becoming a top footballer.

Such has been the job of Club owner and founder of Cantonments Football Club, Rahman Kudulo.

 

The Club founded in the year 2000 has produced some fine footballers who have had the opportunity of playing at the highest level in overseas.

Located right in the heart of the Cantonments Prisons barracks, the team has been able to produce good footballers and one of such is Black Stars and Liberty Professionals defender Samuel Sarfo.

The club has an U10, U15,U17 and compete in the second division league in Ghana.

The success story of this Second division Club has not been a smooth sail and Club Owner Rahman shared with PrimeNewsGhana.
