From Junior Soccer Academy to Feyenoord Academy and later to Redbull Academy, Ibrahim Iddrisu is a proper definition of what talent is. The current Young Wise FC player hails from Tuna in the Savannah Region of Ghana. He started his playing career at the age of 9 in the Central Region at Junior Soccer Academy.
Coming from a humble background, Ibrahim is gunning for the top and “nothing will stop” him from realizing his “dreams of becoming a professional footballer”. His senior brother, Yussif Iddrisu inspired him to play football as he is also a footballer.
This 20-year-old sensation left us amazed when we watched him in a division 1 league game against Accra Great Olympics. He is a central midfielder with an amazing footwork. His team mates call him ‘assist king’, which is self-explanatory.
Ibrahim is so much aware of his surrounding and almost always dictates the pace of the game. It’s no wonder he looks up to Toni Kroos of Real Madrid. He said, “I like the way he (Toni Kroos) plays”.
Ibrahim has been playing the Division 1 League for four seasons, he had an opportunity to travel to France for a trial last year, it went very well and he is preparing to go back. He has also played for the national under 17 side.
When we asked him what he would like to tell people oy there who discourage young footballers, he said, “nobody knows what the future holds so instead of discouraging them, why not encourage them to push and realize their dreams”.
“And to the young players out there, I would like to say the should keep on fighting for what they believe in”.
Ibrahim’s last words to his family, fans and team mates were, “I would like to tell my family to keep on supporting me in all forms, and to my team mates too, thank you guys, you are amazing.” He added, “I love and appreciate my fans for their love, prayer and supports”
