"I took a keen look at the members of the senior side of the academy, and it was obvious they have been trained by a former player who understands the dynamics of the game," he noted.
The owner of the Awudu Issaka Football Academy is a former Black Starlet who gained international recognition during the 1995 FIFA Under-17 World Cup held in Ecuador.
"I am amazed at the kind training being given to the young ones here. This is how to develop players and I think Awudu should be supported to do more for the nation," Appiah added.
Academies across the country have been receiving support from Appiah in partnership with Ghana National Gas Company Limited to pave the way for young talents to excel.
"Coach Appiah has been providing us with financial support on a regular basis. He has been one of the pillars of the academy," he said.
The Awudu Issaka Football Academy boasts a roster of more than a hundred players, ranging from 10 to 21 years of age.
