Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey is making strides to nurture local football talent by hosting the Thomas Partey Tournament, which will feature scouts from eight European clubs.
The tournament, set to take place from December 2 to 5 at the Tuba Astro Turf in the Greater Accra Region, offers young Ghanaian footballers a rare opportunity to display their skills and possibly secure contracts with major European teams.
“This is for the motherland. Let’s discover and celebrate our future stars,” Partey shared, emphasizing his commitment to giving back to his home country and fostering the next generation of football stars.
The announcement has generated excitement among football enthusiasts, with many praising the initiative as a stepping stone for hidden talents to gain international exposure.
“We need more activities like this to discover more talents,” commented an X user, reflecting the widespread enthusiasm for the project.
Partey’s efforts stand out as a response to criticisms that some renowned Ghanaian footballers have neglected local football development after achieving international fame.
