On October 3, 2025, it was announced that 20-year-old Wunam Haruna, son of Member of Parliament Haruna Iddrisu, has been appointed as the Chief Executive Officer of Kick Nation, a football and player scouting agency. The appointment shows a new step in his career as he moves into football leadership and sports management.
Kick Nation is a football agency that helps young players in Ghana to be seen, trained, and supported so they can reach professional levels. With his new role as CEO, Wunam Haruna is expected to lead the agency into becoming a strong platform for football growth in the country. He explained that Ghana has many young people with great football skills, but most of them never get the chance to be noticed. Kick Nation will work to change this situation by scouting and training hidden talent.
Even though Wunam is the son of a respected politician, he has made it clear that he wants to build his own identity. He said that this appointment is not just about him but about all the young players who dream to play football at the highest level. He believes football is more than just a game, it is a tool that can give hope and help families escape poverty. For this reason, he sees his leadership role as an opportunity to create a future for many youths.
Under his appointment, Kick Nation has already started programs in Tamale, Accra, and Kumasi. These programs are designed to scout young boys and girls from schools, communities, and small clubs. After scouting, the agency will provide training and then connect players with professional teams both in Ghana and abroad. Wunam has promised that no player will be left behind simply because of lack of money or lack of exposure.
Some football analysts believe his appointment as CEO is a good move because he is young, ambitious, and ready to invest in talent. They say it will bring fresh energy to football scouting in Ghana. On this day, October 3, 2025, many families see the news as a chance for their children to follow their football dreams with new hope.
Wunam Haruna’s appointment shows that leadership can be found not only in politics but also in sports, where lives can be changed by creating opportunities for the next generation.
