Kingsley Amoah, a native of Bolgatanga in the Upper East Region of Ghana, has officially been licensed by FIFA to conduct international football business, including player transfers across the globe.
His accreditation positions him among a select group of FIFA-certified player agents with the legal authority to negotiate international transfers under global football regulations.
Kingsley’s journey is as inspiring as it is unconventional. Originally trained as a medical professional, he spent nearly a decade serving in the healthcare sector within the Upper East Region. However, his passion for football, which earned him the nickname “Neymar” among friends, never faded.
After relocating to the United Kingdom, Kingsley pursued his passion on the pitch, joining Yorkshire Grey FC for a season before transferring to Brodsworth AFC, a club competing in the Midlands Division One Championship in English football. He played there for two seasons before recently parting ways with the club through a mutual agreement.
Driven by a deep love for football and a strong talent for identifying emerging players, Kingsley decided to take his involvement in the sport a step further. He enrolled in the FIFA Player Agent training program, completing the rigorous coursework and passing the required examinations. Just a few days ago, his efforts were crowned with success as he was officially recognized by FIFA as a licensed football intermediary authorized to manage player transfers globally.
This milestone is especially significant for Kingsley, who aims to use his license to champion football talent development in Northern Ghana. Many young players from the region, despite their potential, lack exposure and opportunities to break into professional football. Kingsley hopes to bridge that gap.
His recent accomplishment aligns with his previous efforts to promote grassroots football in the Upper East Region. He is the visionary behind the King’s Cup, a community-based football tournament that debuted last year in Bolgatanga. The match featured a showdown between Atulbabiisi community, winners of the Ramadan Soccer Fiesta, and Tindonsobligo community, champions of the Frafra Unity Games.
The tournament was organized in collaboration with the Ibrahim Ayew Foundation, with a shared mission to empower youth through sports. Kingsley has committed to making the King’s Cup an annual event, fully funded by himself and the foundation as part of their ongoing social impact and youth development initiative.
With his new FIFA license, Kingsley Amoah is now strategically positioned to transform football talent identification and transfer processes, particularly for underserved regions like Northern Ghana, helping local footballers reach international platforms.
