"I am committed to creating opportunities for young people everywhere, and I am personally invested in ensuring that Right to Dream continues to push forward." - Sir Mohamed Mansour, Chairman of Right to Dream. These powerful words, shared during Sir Mohamed’s recent visit to our Egypt Academy for our 25th anniversary celebrations, reflect the incredible journey we've been on—empowering young talent and making a lasting impact. From our roots in Ghana 25 years ago, we've grown into a global network spanning Denmark, Egypt, and the USA. 🌍 Our graduates have excelled on the world's biggest stages — from the World Cup and Africa Cup of Nations to the Champions League and MLS. ⚽ They’ve earned scholarships to top schools and universities, including Ivy League schools. 🎓 Our clubs have lifted league and cup titles and offered a platform for young talents to shine, and our student-athletes have celebrated victories in youth tournaments and robotics championships.🏆🤖 Most importantly, our alumni are making a positive impact in their communities, paving the way for the next generation to reach their potential. Right to Dream Today: 🌍 4 countries: Ghana, Denmark, Egypt, USA. 👟 185 student-athletes currently enrolled across our academies 🌱 300+ young talents in youth teams. 🏟️ 20 pitches across our network. ⚽ 157 pro footballers making their mark globally. But our journey is far from over. Sir Mohamed’s vision inspires us: "My goal is to open the doors to dreams for all talented young people in the world and my duty is to help them achieve their dreams." Looking Ahead: The Next 25 Years As we look to the future, our commitment to excellence and expanding access to quality education and football opportunities remains steadfast. In Sir Mohamed’s words: “Part of my dream and goal in life is helping young people everywhere achieve their aspirations, whether in education or sports.” We envision a future where: - More of our graduates compete at the highest level of football and study at top universities worldwide. ⚽📚 - Our clubs—including San Diego FC debuting in MLS in 2025, FC Nordsjaelland in Denmark, and Masar FC in Egypt— continue to provide pathways for the next generation. - We grow our network by fostering partnerships with major clubs and top educational institutions, ensuring more opportunities for young talent to thrive. 🤝 - Our men's team in Egypt reaches the top-tier league, and our women's team wins the African Champions League. These represent just a glimpse of what lies ahead. The next 25 years will be about dreaming bigger, growing stronger, and empowering more young people to shape their futures and inspire the world. 🌟 #25YearsOfDreams #YouthDevelopment
