Mahama Abdulai: The Uprising Center Back

In a small community of Sokpayiri, a suburb of Wa, the capital of Upper West Region, Ghana, Mahama Abdulai (17) was born into a family of football. Most of his family members play football and have made names in the region.

At the tender age, he was scouted by Mr. Mahama, popularly known as Anokye and was sent into the Anokye Stars junior side where he started playing football. He had gone through all most all levels of football at that club and has now been seen in the region and beyond as one of the best center backs in modern day football.

A modern day center back should be smart with ball, be a great passer and reads the game as well. This, can be found in him and some qualities which I may say are to be discovered. He is also a good ball distributor and can anticipate plays right before they happen. His compossure when he has the ball tells you he is a complete and great center back.

Mahama Abdulai is a player that is loved by many and teams prior to the commencement of the 2022/2023 Upper Division Two League were all over trying to get the youngster play for them.

Currently, he plays for Tumu Liverpool Football Club in the Upper West Division Two League and has been the rock at the back of the team. He can be considered as the “Great Wall of China” in his team.

In every field you find yourself, you have to have someone you look up to, this, helps you work hard to be like your model. Mahama Abdulai has chosen Ghana Black Stars and Southampton center back, Mohammed Karim Salisu as his role model.
