Ghanaian teenager Prince Amoako Junior has been handed one of the most symbolic shirts in football, as he prepares to wear the iconic number 10 for FC Nordsjaelland in the next round of the Danish SuperLiga season.

A sneak peek from the club’s dressing room revealed Amoako Junior’s name alongside the famous number, a clear statement of faith in the young playmaker’s talent and potential. At just 18, the Ghanaian is being trusted with a shirt traditionally reserved for the team’s creative heartbeat.

In doing so, Amoako Junior follows in the footsteps of two high-profile compatriots, Mohammed Kudus and Kamaldeen Sulemana, both of whom previously wore the number 10 at Nordsjaelland before earning moves to Europe’s top leagues.

The decision underlines the club’s long-standing commitment to youth development and its close ties with Ghana, particularly through the Right to Dream Academy, which has produced a steady stream of talent for the Danish side.

For Amoako Junior, the shirt represents both honour and responsibility. While expectations will be high, those close to the club believe his technical ability, vision and maturity make him well suited to the role.

As the next round of the season approaches, all eyes will be on the young Ghanaian to see whether he can add his name to the growing list of Nordsjaelland number 10s who have gone on to shine on the bigger stage.
