Ghanaian forward, Mohammed Fuseini Gaddafi says his path was different from that of the likes of Mohammed Kudus and Kamadeen Sulemana as they went through the ranks of Ghana’s most prestigious football academy, Right To Dream.

The Royal Union Saint-Gilloise attacker who helped his side clinch their first ever major trophy in 90 years, after a spectacular season with the Belgian side, helping then win the Belgium Pro League title in the 2024/2025 season.

Brimming with great enthusiasm and immense passion coupled with huge potential, the prodigious talent, who had a rather productive and exciting season with the Belgium side also earned his first national team call up with the Black Stars as he was called up for the four-nation Unity Cup friendly tourney in May 2025.

He came on as a substitute in the semifinal game against Nigeria where Ghana lost 2-1 to their West African rivals. He also made an appearance in the third-place playoff game against Trinidad and Tobago where he made his full debut, going on to score his debut goal for the nation only on his first start as he didn’t need more games to prove that.

The former Right To Dream attacker spoke to Joy Sports about how his journey went separately from that of the usual as we all know, where graduating prospects from the Academy would get to be inducted into their mother club in the Danish top flight, FC Nordsjaelland:

“I moved to Right to Dream when I was 10, and I was there for like nine years. Being at Right to Dream is not easy; you have to work hard. There are a lot of players, and you have to be really special to get to Nordsjaelland.”

“When I first joined the Right to Dream academy, I was in the group of [Mohammed] Kudus. Even though I was younger, I was training with them before Kamaldeen and co also joined. Kamaldeen [Sulemana] was in my age group then.”

“Being at Right to Dream is great, having to leave your family back at home and in Ghana, every player dreams of playing for the Right to Dream academy. To be chosen as one of the players to play for the academy, you have to be proud of yourself.”

About failing to go through the usual ranks of FC Nordsjaelland, the 23 year old asserted that he thought his path was different:

“I don’t really know [how I didn’t make it to FC Nordsjaelland]. I think maybe I was not good enough, that’s why I didn’t move to Nordsjaelland. But whatever happened had to happen. Look at where I am now. I’m still grateful to have taken my own path.”

The former Randers FC attacker had his breakthrough season with Belgian side Royal Union Saint Gilloise, joining them in July 2024, and was able to win the domestic title for the first time in 90 years where he scored 9 goals in 33 league games with 1 assist. He also featured in 8 Europa League games and scored once for his side in the 2024/2025 campaign.
