SPORT: QNET and Manchester City provide world-class football coaching to young Ghanaian talents

As part of a transformative initiative focused on youth empowerment, talent development and community impact, QNET, an international health and lifestyle company and official direct selling partner of Manchester City for a decade, successfully organized an elite football clinic in Accra for 25 promising young Ghanaian footballers aged 7 to 11.

Led by official Manchester City coaches from May 21-24, 2026, the football clinic brought together talented young boys and girls from different communities across Ghana at AIS School Park, East Legon, for a unique opportunity to benefit from world-class football coaching, mentoring, and life skills training inspired by one of the world's leading football clubs.

For many participants, the experience was more than just football. It was an opportunity to dream bigger, to boost their confidence, and to believe that through hard work, discipline, and determination, young Ghanaians can reach their full potential both on and off the field.

Football holds a special place in Ghanaian culture and identity, inspiring generations of young people across the country. Through this initiative, QNET and Manchester City Football Club aimed to make a significant contribution to the future of youth development in Ghana by creating an inclusive platform where children can learn, grow, and thrive, regardless of their background.

Trevor Kuna, QNET's network development manager, said: "Football does something few things can—it transcends languages, backgrounds, and circumstances, giving young people a common language of ambition. When you watch these kids on the pitch, you see not only their talent, but also their desire to grow, to prove themselves, to be seen. At QNET, we believe that this thirst deserves to be quenched with opportunities, and that's exactly what this clinic is about."

The clinic focused not only on football skills and tactical development, but also on teamwork, leadership, discipline, perseverance and self-confidence – essential values in both sport and life.

Cherif Abdoulaye, QNET's Deputy Regional General Manager for Sub-Saharan Africa, said: “When QNET launched this initiative in Nigeria in 2023, we saw firsthand what happens when young people have access to world-class coaching in their own communities—it changes something in how they see themselves and what they believe is possible. Bringing this to Ghana seemed like the next natural step. Ghana has a deep-rooted football culture and a new generation ready to take it forward. We are proud that QNET and Manchester City can be part of this story.”

Philipa Harrison, Head of Partnership Marketing for the MENA region at City Football Group, said: “Over the past few days, we have witnessed tremendous passion, energy, and commitment from these young players. This football clinic aims to help youngsters develop their skills, enjoy the game, and believe in what they can achieve in the future. We are proud to partner with QNET to deliver this experience to young players in Ghana.”

For over 10 years, QNET has been the official direct selling partner of Manchester City Football Club. QNET has also maintained a long-standing partnership with the Confederation of African Football (CAF), supporting major African interclub competitions, including the CAF TotalEnergies Champions League and the CAF Confederation Cup.

These partnerships reflect QNET's broader commitment to youth empowerment, community engagement, and sports development across Africa.

Beyond its sports and community initiatives, QNET continues to promote ethical business practices, transparency, and public education in its markets, while working closely with stakeholders and authorities to combat the misuse of its brand by unauthorized individuals. .
