The leadership of Hearts of Oak have inspected the Hearts Africa Football Academy ahead of pre-season.
The ultra-modern facility at Kpobiman is close to completion, and the Hearts board were at the soon-to-be technical centre to assess the current state of the facility, identifying areas requiring immediate attention and reviewing progress ahead of the implementation of the club’s restructured academy system.
The facility, when completed, will serve as the permanent home of Hearts of Oak’s youth development programme, accommodating the club’s Under-19, Under-17 and Under-15 teams.
Meanwhile, the first team players will report to the centre to begin pre-season ahead of the 2026/27 campaign in the coming days.
The Hearts Africa Football Academy boasts a wide range of world-class amenities, including a 108-bed dormitory for academy players, residential bungalows for key technical staff such as the Sporting Director and Head Coach, a modern gymnasium, swimming pool, golf course, tennis court, paddle court, basketball court, a mini stadium, two natural grass training pitches and an artificial turf pitch equipped with floodlights.
The project is also set to become the administrative headquarters of the Ghanaian giants. The current administration will relocate to Kpobiman as part of the club’s vision of creating a fully integrated sporting and administrative hub where all football operations are conducted from a single location.
Following the visit to the complex, Togbe Afede XIV described the Hearts Africa Football Academy as a landmark investment that should make every Hearts of Oak supporter proud.
Other members of the Board who participated in the inspection included Prof. Agyeman Badu Akosa, Akwesi Agyeman, Vincent Sowah Odotei, Samuel Inkoom, Alhaji Hussein Sulemana, Dr Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe, Managing Director Julius Ben Emunah, and Executive Board Chairman Togbe Afede XIV.
