Our Story

From Humble Beginnings to Always First

The Young United FC Journey

Young United FC was founded in 2019 with a simple vision: to discover and nurture local youth into disciplined, professional footballers. What started as informal “small poles” training sessions with just 10 passionate young players has blossomed into a structured, community-rooted football club that proudly represents Dawu-Akuapem in the Eastern Region of Ghana.

Our journey hasn’t been easy, but it’s been driven by an unwavering commitment to our motto: Always First. This means being first in discipline, first in dedication, and first in developing young talent with the highest standards of coaching and character development.

Since 2019/20, we’ve competed in divisional football, providing our players with the competitive experience needed to grow. More importantly, we’ve created a pathway for talented young Ghanaians to pursue their dreams of professional football, offering structured training programs, mentorship, and opportunities to be scouted by clubs in Ghana and internationally.
