Meet Wun-nam Haruna: A young entrepreneur with big ambitions
Though still a student at Ashesi University, Wun-nam is eager to carve his own path beyond his father’s political influence.
Inspired by international sports agencies and the journey of players like Abdul Fatawu Issahaku, he aims to provide guidance, scouting, and career support for footballers hoping to break into the professional game.
Explaining his motivation, he shared how Fatawu’s rise from Tamale-based Steadfast to Dreams FC, then Sporting CP, and eventually Leicester City proved that structured support can transform careers.
He believes Kick Sports Agency can create similar pathways for many more players, both in Ghana and abroad.

The young CEO also follows in the footsteps of Sharaf Mahama, son of Ghana’s president, who runs Legacy Rise Sports and doubles as a FIFA-certified agent.
For Wun-nam, however, the mission is straightforward: to give players the representation and opportunities they deserve.

The event at Silicon House Production drew a high-profile audience.
Football legends Asamoah Gyan and his brother Baffour Gyan, as well as Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu attended, alongside members of the Black Stars technical team, John Paintsil and Fatawu Dauda.
Scouts, investors, FIFA-licensed coaches, administrators, and journalists also joined to show support.
Watch the launch of Kick Nation Sports Agency:
Industry insiders see Wun-nam’s background, youthful drive, and access to networks as potential advantages in building a strong brand.
His father’s involvement in football, owning both Steadfast FC and Karela United, further reinforces the family’s ties to the game.
FIFA agent Oliver Arthur offered advice at the launch, cautioning him,
“As a young agent, the only people you should pay heed to with regard to players are your scouting team, not anyone close to you or your immediate family.”
Other notable personalities present included Dr Ernest Koranteng, Dauda Lutterodt, Baba Sadiq, Gary Al-Smith, Michael Oti Adjei, Samuel Anim Addo, and Samuel Abboabire.
