MSport Dream as One, Win as You: Where Talent Met Opportunity

A celebration of sportsmanship, resilience, and the competitive spirit powered by MSport

Adjringanor, Accra – December 13, 2025

Some football stories are told through trophies. Others are told through effort, courage, and the willingness to step forward. MSport’s “Dream as One, Win as You” Challenge belongs to the second kind.

Organized across Kumasi, Takoradi, and Accra, the initiative was built to do something different: create a space where participation mattered, character was tested, and fighting spirit defined success

From the first regional events to the Accra finals, MSport positioned itself not just as a sponsor, but as the platform enabling connection, interaction, and opportunity through sport.

By the time the Accra Regional Final took place at Adjringanor, the impact was already visible. Players, coaches, scouts, and supporters gathered in large numbers, drawn not only by competition but by the sense of inclusion the challenge created

“I had heard of MSport before, but I did not know they were this visible in Ghana,” said Coach Frimpong, Head Coach of East Legon Football Academy. “I love what you guys are doing. My players are going to register and join the challenge.”

This was not simply an event. It was a shared experience shaped by effort, belief, and collective energy.

Ghana is rich in football culture, but access to structured platforms where players can test themselves fairly is not always guaranteed. The Dream as One, Win as You Challenge was created to bridge that gap by encouraging open participation and rewarding commitment, discipline, and resilience.

While the overall winner received a prize of 15,000 GHS, the challenge emphasized something deeper: the experience of competing with purpose.

Telvin Amaniampong, an operations associate at Clipboard Health who attended the Accra finals, reflected on this broader impact: “I really enjoyed the program. This is a meaningful way for MSport to give back... I hope the initiative continues in the coming years.”

At Adjringanor, the atmosphere balanced intensity with celebration. Supporters lined the sidelines, while others observed closely, learning from the moment even if they were not eligible to compete.

“It’s unfortunate that I’m below 18 and couldn’t participate, but I’m here to support my friends and learn from the experience,” said Christiana Mensah, a young footballer in attendance.

The competition format was deliberately structured to test more than raw ability. Players progressed through ball control exercises, coordination drills, and a final target-based challenge that demanded focus under pressure. Observers from the football community noted the effectiveness of this structure

“This is a great initiative by MSport,” noted Akwowe Stephen, Director of Soccer Scouting Agency. “I spend a lot of time traveling to identify talent, but platforms like this make the process more efficient. It creates visibility for players who deserve to be seen.”

Every participant brought effort and belief to the challenge, but a small group stood out for how clearly they reflected the values at the heart of the initiative. Their journeys were different, their playing styles unique, but each embodied the spirit of participation, resilience, and respect that “Dream as One, Win as You” was designed to celebrate.

What follows are five individual stories, each representing a different path shaped by opportunity, competition, and a platform that allowed talent and character to be expressed.

1. Toah Ohene Benedict- Accra Regional Champion

Nationality: Ghanaian 

Height: 1.75m 

Position: Defensive Midfielder 

Club: East Legon Football Academy

Calm, composed, and disciplined, Toah Ohene Benedict approached the challenge with maturity. Naturally comfortable in central areas, he demonstrated awareness, control, and consistency throughout the competition. His victory embodied the values of patience and focus that the challenge was designed to promote.

2. Tawema Fousseni – A Story of Pure Fighting Spirit

Nationality: Beninese 

Height: 1.77m 

Position: Striker 

Club: East Legon Football Academy

For Tawema Fousseni, this was more than a game; it was survival. Having moved to Ghana from Benin alone, without family support, he pursues his development under challenging circumstances. His words after the event reminded everyone what "opportunity" truly means:

“I work before I can find something to eat. I do not always have what I need for football. My family is not here. But by God’s grace, I was able to find a place to stay and continue, and I’m thankful to MSport for this opportunity.”

On the field, Tawema played with a directness and hunger that reflected his journey.


3. Prince Collins – Accra Regional Runner-Up

Nationality: Ghanaian 

Height: 1.78m 

Position: Right Back / Wing 

Club: John Painstil Football Academy

Confident and expressive, Prince Collins brought energy to every phase of the competition. He attacked each drill with conviction and showed a willingness to take risks and push himself. His performance reflected the spirit of competition the challenge encouraged: fearless, respectful, and committed

4. Akudjedu Nartey Parosh – Control Under Pressure

Nationality: Ghanaian 

Height: 1.57m 

Position: Central Midfielder

Club: Kofcity FC

Akudjedu Nartey Parosh stood out for his calmness and technical assurance. A gifted midfielder operating in tight spaces, he completed 236 juggles in two minutes. His performance highlighted the value of discipline and preparation within the challenge structure.

5. Samson Ackonu – Takoradi Regional Champion

Nationality: Ghanaian 

Height: 1.89m 

Position: Center Forward 

Club: Asekem FC

Powerful and composed, Samson Ackonu represented the strength and determination that defined the Takoradi regional stage. His approach was direct and efficient, built on physical presence and confidence. His journey from Takoradi to Accra reflected the nationwide reach of the challenge and the unity it created across regions.

The "Dream as One, Win as You" Challenge demonstrated what happens when a platform is built on principle rather than convenience. 

MSport went to Kumasi, Takoradi, and Accra to create space for the players others might overlook: the ones with hunger, fighting spirit, and something to prove. The initiative stripped away the usual barriers like connections, academy affiliations, and geographic advantage. It left only one question: Can you compete?

For Tawema Fousseni, this question was a lifeline. For Christiana Mensah, watching from the sidelines, it was proof of what becomes possible. For the five players who distinguished themselves, it confirmed what they already knew: their effort matters.

This is what "More Than Sport" means in practice: not just celebrating victories, but creating the conditions where fighting spirit gets recognized long before the world knows your name.
