Agona Swedru is buzzing and the name on everyone’s lips is Eric Wiafe Dankwah.
The 17-year-old midfield prodigy delivered a breakout performance for Swedru All Blacks in their hard-fought 1-0 victory over FC Samartex 1996 in the Ghana Premier League, firmly announcing himself as one of the league’s most exciting young prospects.
A Star Is Born in Swedru
Despite his tender age, Dankwah played the full 90 minutes with remarkable composure and authority. The gifted left-footed playmaker was at the heart of everything positive for the All Blacks, dictating tempo, unlocking spaces, and constantly troubling the Samartex defence.
The defining moment came when his intelligent movement and attacking instinct won the decisive penalty that secured all three points for the home side. His overall impact earned him a well-deserved Man of the Match award a huge statement from a teenager competing against seasoned professionals.
“Messi” of Agona Swedru
Nicknamed “Messi” by fans for his close control, creativity, and eye for goal, Dankwah operates as a classic No.10 with modern flair. His ability to glide past defenders, demand possession under pressure, and create opportunities out of tight situations has quickly made him a fan favorite.
But beyond the flair lies maturity.
What truly sets Dankwah apart is his mentality. He does not shy away from responsibility. He wants the ball in crucial moments. He thrives under pressure. That confidence and football intelligence make him stand out in Ghana’s top-flight competition.
A Bright Future for Ghana Football
Dankwah’s rapid rise is another powerful reminder of the depth of talent in Ghana’s football system. At just 17, earning consistent minutes in the Ghana Premier League speaks volumes about his discipline, work ethic, and undeniable quality.
If he continues on this trajectory, it may not be long before bigger clubs locally and internationally begin to circle. Ghana has a proud history of exporting elite talent, and Eric Wiafe Dankwah is positioning himself as the next name to watch.
For now, Swedru celebrates its new sensation.
And Ghana football may have just found its next jewel.
