RIGHT TO DREAM is planning its first foray into the English market after the Mansour Group, owned by Africa’s seventh richest man, agreed to invest $120m in the global academy.

DR PIPPA GRANGE, the former Head of People and Team Development at the Football Association, has joined the Right to Dream Academy to lead on cultural strategy.

EVERY year, 25,000 children try out for a place at the Right to Dream Academy near Accra. With its links to FC Nordsjælland in Denmark, the Academy offers unique opportunities to youngsters in West Africa.
