The 5 Year Plan

The Action Rangers have set out a feasible five (5) year development plan which would see them firmly established in the Ghanaian Premiership by 2011/2012. The pace of development shown by clubs such as Liberty Professionals in Accra is a clear example of the progress which can be made when a professional approach is taken to club management. Another example is Heart-of-Lions F/C based in Kpando in the Volta Region.

Ghanaian Football In Profile: Growing influence and a chance to make the most.

In recent years several of the world’s greatest footballers have emerged from West Africa. Led by Michael Essien, Stephen Appiah, Didier Drogba and Samuel Eto, a growing band of players have begun to take over the Premiership, La Liga and Serie A.

When the African Cup of Nations kicked off in Ghana January 2008, Chelsea, Barcelona, Arsenal, Real Madrid and Inter Milan all felt the effects as several of their stars were taken away for one month. Despite the growing influence of these players, there is a worrying lack of regard for the source of the talent. When the bigger clubs do look to Africa it is usually because it is productive for them to do so – players with strong potential can be sourced more cheaply and profiles can be opened up to new markets.

Benefit is rarely transferred to the grassroots and very little investment is made in the infrastructure which will allow further talent to flourish. The Action Rangers hope to redress this balance by placing emphasis on grassroots African football. Through the site, the Action Rangers intend to establish the conditions in which they will be able to operate and progress, allowing players to make the most of their potential.

Ghanaian players have been at the forefront of Africa’s football invasion: Michael Essien, Stephen Appiah, Sulley Muntari, Asamoah Gyan and John Mensah amongst others command multi-million pound fees and in Dede Ayew of Marseille and Freddy Adu of Benfica, two of the world’s most exciting youngsters are Ghanaian born.

A Professional Approach

Of these clubs the Liberty Professionals, formed in only 2003, are perhaps the most progressive. The club is a perfect example of how in Ghanaian football results can be achieved quickly and effectively when a professional approach is taken to club management.

Liberty Professionals aim to run the club along the lines of clubs in Europe and Asia. Management structures are simple and transparent and their approach has been to build the club from its foundations – they have a strong youth system and now an academy is in place which will aim to unearth the next Essien or Muntari.

There is an emphasis on marketing the club which is missing from many other African sides, often due to a simple lack of resources, and the Action Rangers hope to take this idea forward. Another new club to learn from is Kpando Heart of Lions which also started recently and in the premier division.

Thank you!

The primary focus is on the development of the team and the local communities.

The Club officials and other staff members will be salaried in line with local norms as they would be responsible for the day-to-day affairs of the club.

Introduction

Agbozume-Klikor is a twin town and is about 2 ½ hours drive from Accra (Ghana’s capital). This twin town is developing and just about 15 minutes drive to Aflao border to our next door neigbour country Togo. The main occupation of the people is kente weaving, farming and fishing.

There are other businesses like in other towns and cities. There is vast water lands available suitable for fish farming, also are natural resources to mine salt, which is in very high demand in most oil producing countries like Nigeria. Despite the numerous opportunities available, the area lacks potential investment.

Agbozume-Klikor Projects

The Action Rangers support for local projects will develop as the club grows. Initially, we will set out several core areas where we intend to direct funding and attention. We will liaise directly with those best informed to apply funding in each particular area.

In relation to healthcare for instance we will liaise with any local practitioners and the people themselves to establish what is needed. All projects which we support will have the sustainable development of the town in mind and we will target the specific needs of the town’s population. We welcome the suggestions of our members who may have ideas on particular ways in which we can assist the community.

As the site develops members will be able to see pictures and video footage of the people who will benefit from these projects, we will keep all members informed through regular reports on the progress of all of the specified schemes.
