Mohammed Kudus to donate 1000 boots to the community
Kudus will commence by donating 1,000 football boots and other essential gear to young players in Nima.
The donation will be made during the Bazaki Football Tournament, a community event set for Sunday at the Kawokudi Park.
Ten teams from his childhood area and nearby communities will compete in the tournament, which kicks off at 9 am.

Aside from that, the 24-year-old will bring some of his Black Stars teammates and his fellow Right to Dream graduates to grace the occasion.
Kudus' selected XI will lock horns against his brother's Arah XI at the Kanda Cluster of Schools at 4 pm in the Monday Stars game.
Most of the players in the Arah XI side are childhood playmates of Kudus.
Kudus returns to his former school in Nima
According to Ghanasoccernet, Kudus is also set for a heartfelt homecoming as he returns to his alma mater, Nima Cluster of Schools (Nima Basic 1), on Monday, June 30, 2025.
The visit, organised through his KudusDream Foundation in partnership with Skechers, forms part of a broader initiative to give back to the community that shaped him.
During the visit, the West Ham star will donate football kits, books, and essential learning materials to support the current students at the school where his educational journey first began.
Why is Kudus donating 1000 football boots?
This act of giving is being supported by Skechers, Kudus’ official apparel partner.
The collaboration reflects not just a sponsorship deal, but a shared commitment to youth development, community engagement, and using sport as a force for good.
Stephen Zando of Luv 99.5 FM had glowing praise for the 24-year-old following his recent humanitarian efforts:
“What Mohammed Kudus is doing is truly commendable, and it’s the kind of initiative that deserves to be replicated across other communities,” he told YEN.com.gh.
“While it’s not our place to dictate how successful footballers like Kudus should spend their money, this gesture stands out as a powerful example of giving back—and it’s a beautiful thing to see.”
"The donation is part of a broader mission to promote healthy competition, inspire dreams, and remind these kids that their circumstances do not define their futures."
Is Kudus leaving West Ham after changing agents?
While making a difference off the field, Kudus is also positioning himself for a significant career step.
In what could be a move towards a blockbuster transfer, the West Ham United midfielder has signed with Representatives of Outstanding Footballers (ROOF), a renowned agency known for managing high-profile football careers.
This strategic move, reported by The Sun, has been interpreted as a signal of Kudus’ readiness to embrace a fresh challenge.
His impressive debut season in the Premier League has already drawn interest from several elite clubs.
Chelsea, Arsenal, and Liverpool have all been monitoring the Ghanaian’s progress, with Newcastle United also entering the mix in recent weeks.
