BACKGROUND
FDM Field Masters SC was founded by Mr. Joseph Assinyo in 2009 as a platform to nurture and develop the talent of the local youth in the Fadama area. Fadama being a slightly deprived neighborhood ignored by the government in terms of socio-economic development in Ghana. A lot of young people growing up do not have access to good education and after school programs. Mr. Joseph started this team to provide an avenue where such kids could channel their free time after school, which was a great way to prevent them from engaging in social vices in the community. This team brought together kids of various tribes and backgrounds to become family and develop their talents together.
OWNER
In 2019 a former player trained by Mr. Joseph Assinyo, Abdullah Adam came back from USA and took over FDM Field Masters SC. Abdullah Adam left Ghana to pursue higher education gained full athletic scholarships at Lyon College and University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) where he attained his bachelor’s degree. Mr. Adam invested in the team to take it to greater heights. Mr. Adam brought financial muscle and with his network in the football world helped elevate the team and provide the players with more platforms and opportunities to achieve their goals.
Our technical team consists of 6 able professionals starting with our Technical Director William Asara and head coach David Kabu. We also have younger coaches who work directly under the head coach; Joseph Sowah, Moses Whyte, James Laweh and Roger Mills. Currently, we have about 6 scouts around the country that run a continuous scouting schedule, and we hold trials a few times a year where we bring all scouted players for further evaluation.
VISION
The biggest highlight so far of the team’s achievements has been the transfer of a graduate who Mr Abdullah helped gain scholarship at Lindsey Wilson College and Syracuse University, to Leicester City FC in the Premier League.
We built this academy on strong partnership, and we believe the essence of partnerships will ensure the success of the academy. We hope to provide a great platform for our athletes through such strategic partnerships. Our Partnership with TJ Player Advice, headed by Mr. Thomas Jorgensen, based in Denmark, makes us their representative club in the West African market where we support them with scouting, player assessments and placements.
We believe we have unlocked the right pathway for our athletes to achieve academic and athletic excellence both at home and abroad.
AGE GROUPS
FDM Field masters currently has 4 age groups within the academy. They include U-13, U-15, U-17 and U-19 (which participates in the 2nd division league in Ghana). We scout extensively around Ghana and have recently extended our scouting beyond the borders to other West African countries. We have scouts situated in the northern, middle and southern belts of Ghana and they go above and beyond to fish out the best talents in the country for us to develop. We mostly scout players from the U-15 level and above and have partnerships with local schools in Accra where most of the boys attend whiles pursuing their football careers.
FACILITIES
We are currently located at Fadama, the same community that the club was founded in. We have about 4 different apartment buildings that host all our boys. We use the Fadama astro turf as our home grounds for league games friendlies and we use Apenkwa astro turf for training sessions.
We are currently working on our own facilities on the outskirts of Accra where we expect to build a school, dormitories and sports facilities for our student athletes to ensure they have all they need within our territories. It includes a total new and modern astro turf pitch.

PARTNERS AND INVESTORS
We seek partnerships with various sporting organizations in Europe including clubs and other football shareholders. We strategize our selections because we need partners and sponsors whose goals align with ours to be able to take our academy to the next level. These partnerships will help provide more opportunities for our young athletes and help them get the necessary facilities and tools to be able to develop in the right way as footballers for the European market.
We believe in grooming young African talents not only for the football field but also to become globally competent young adults in the future.
