German footballing legend Lothar Matthäus is a Bundesliga champion, World Cup winner, Ballon d'Or winner, television pundit — and now football club owner after buying Ghana Premier League side Accra Lions.

Together with business partners Oliver König, a former German player agent, and former Ghanaian international Frank Acheampong, Matthäus is keen to develop talent in West Africa and open up a route to Europe for young players.

"Of course it's a business model," the 62-year-old told German tabloid Bild. "Ghana has always had huge potential in terms of talent, and you can see that in the national team."

Founded in 2015 and are currently ninth in the Ghanaian top flight, the Accra Lions are valued at $2 million (€1.85 million) by Transfermarkt, although details of the level of Matthäus' personal investment have not been disclosed.

"We want to bring young players to Europe in a serious way and already well-trained," the former Bayern Munich star said. That's why we're also investing in the training ground here."

One of Matthäus' new partners, Frankfurt player agent König who had reportedly built extensive contacts in West Africa, joined Accra Lions in January as chairman.

König's sporting director is an acquaintance from the Bundesliga, Ibrahim Tanko, 45, a Ghanaian who played at both Borussia Dortmund and SCFreiburg, and spent time as a scout and coach at Cologne.

The third part of the ownership triangle, Acheampong, a 29-year old Ghanaian national team player is now suiting up in the Chinese Super League. He has played professionally in Ghana, Thailand and for Belgium's first-tier Anderlecht club.

As a Bundesliga Legend and ambassador, Matthäus has spent a significant amount of time in Ghana.

His investment of time and mentorship in Ghana has now been followed by a financial investment meant to reap rewards for individuals with eyes on European football.

Odogwujayy:
Omohh.. This tourney would have brought him more into limelight.

exactly. I pray him and Eletu continue working hard to make it to men’s football in no distant time

Odogwujayy:
He should've been part of this team. Imagine being in the inter Milan senior squad last weekend.. They see something in him.

the boy na baller. Heard he is seriously dominating in the primavera league with top notch performances in midfield

Odogwujayy:
Thought we're going make the round of 16 through one of the 3rd best teams. Oh my these lads surprised me. That 2nd half was even more better. Damn! Nice one boys! Just imagine if that inter Milan boy is part of this team....

the boy for emerge as the golden ball winner of this competition no cap

Heard he is doing massively well in Inter’s primavera team

elyte89:
Make dem lodge d two teams tonight for celebration 😀😀😀 imagination no go kill me😀

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

chuks404:
That eletu na serious baller. His combination with daga wooookw😍😍💯

he is too smooth and elegant to watch. Bobo will make it in serie A

Odunayaw:
bbbbuuttt they said it was carpenters that filled the team

shatap 🤣

daveP:
We blew chances i lost count. Wetin sef.

I noticed Daga was cautioned in dressing room. He was involved more in attack in first half and exposed the defence as he was far from duty post. But 2nd half he was solid and at duty. I don't like those wasted chances. That's a 300% of being goals but we wasted them. Moments i hate such is when we need a goal in a KO moment. E go pain ke die. Like that 2008 Olympics final vs Argentina. We knocked to no avail. I hope they improve on this.

The scoreline didn't do us justice of what happened. Almost 30 attempts overall.

daga’s major issue is that he is easily dragged out of position

He should be told that he’s major responsibility is shielding the back 4

AmehTsaev:
Sarki is a Menacd with his speed

speed and trickery

daveP:
These boys still have problems with finishing. Chai.

This was easily a 5-0 match. I like how the ref wasn't having any of those rubbish cheap foul the Italian boys were looking for. Our passing is very sweet. I give them that one.


If this is the Italians that beat Brazil, then we will easily beat those ones, but waste chances. Thanks to VaR for maintaining the tempo of this game. That Agbalaka handball would have ruined this game. Nice Allison moment for that Sunday goal.


Seems the fans will turn up to enjoy our last game. We really entertained the crowd. Lovely.

Never gave them a chance. Now they are through to next round.

Notable performance

Ogwuche
Bameyi(this guy just dey blow nose all over the pitch. Kilode?)🤣🤣🤣🤣
Eletu


I wasn't impressed by Salim Fago even though he scored. Guy wasted chances mehn. But nice teamwork.

Overall i wished they shot direct at goal than trying to give inbox passes that fizzles out the attack. I counter over 11 such times that a shot would have stunned their goalie but they passed and wasted.👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Ogwuche is good too. Very solid at the back

mostob:
Omo...Brazil go see 'mechanic resurrection' football and run.

That was an impressive performance. This is what happens when you invite the right players. Some Nigerian coaches may definitely has the tactical knowledge but egunje no go let them call up suitable players.

Kudos to the goalkeeper...his calmness and composure especially with aerial ball is impressive. He is miles better than Oga NEPA.

nah I don’t think so because bosso will rest a lot of players since the team hv qualified for the next round with a game to spare

ForG:
What a win. The most attacking gameplay of any Nigerian team since Osimhen's flying eagles set.

Coach man of the match.

Hamiru Sarki. A star is born.

Hamiru is just a tall chukwueze. If he moves to a good developmental league/club in europe in 2-3 years bobo will be hot

AmehTsaev:
Sarki still needs to improve on his decision making but I like what i see so far

Sarki
Eletu
Emmanuel Umeh
Daga
Benjamin Frederick are players to watch.

also Nnadi

AmehTsaev:
FT Nigeria wins!

I love this team I won't lie, they are not your typical team with flair, but they are a well-oiled unit, very efficient and solid. I see them beating Brazil to top the group.

the team is not bad, the only problem I think is the 2 full backs

The best midfield trio should be daga, nnadi and eletu

Sarki should be starting, so should Emmanuel

Emmanuel number 19 na confirm bull. He harassed and unsettled the Italian defense.

Nonstop runs, strength and aggressiveness. He should be a starter

andrew444:
Dem try today

Winning this Italian team no be moi moi

They need to keep improving to stand a chance of winning this tournament though

Football is weird ,winning a better team Italy easily than ekuke Dominica republic

truly they really improved when compared to the first match against Dominican Republic

Sarki na machine. I love him 😍

Jude Sunday scores 😂

I like the Sarki guy. Plays a bit like chukwueze

Daga get dragged out from he’s position easily

andrew444:
It seems he is good

Which club does he play?

bobo is good with swt left foot. He plays for AC Milan
