Africa-Press – Gambia. In an inspiring fusion of world-class athletic training and meaningful community impact, Mamour M. Mbenga, known professionally as Kifa Barham, has launched a transformative football initiative across Ghana to set a new standard for sports development in West Africa.
Founder and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Africa Sports Agency and Gorilla Sports Fitness, Barham—a accredited fitness and nutrition specialist—recently concluded an extensive training tour, working closely with several Ghanaian football academies to implement a comprehensive approach to player development that addresses both physical excellence and personal growth.
The initiative flagship collaboration was with Progen Football Academy, a highly respected Accra-based institution celebrated for consistently producing talented young players who compete globally in tournaments such as the Norway Cup.
Barham revolutionized the senior team’s conditioning protocols, introducing scientifically-backed fitness regimens and personalized recovery frameworks that significantly enhanced the players’ operational readiness and match longevity.
However, Barham’s influence extends well beyond technical training.
With a career-long commitment to leveraging sports as a medium for social change, he has positioned football as a proactive tool to engage youth, reduce crime, and combat substance abuse.
His credibility in this arena is strengthened by his ten-year tenure as a Brand Ambassador for the Drug Law Enforcement Agency in The Gambia, through which he has consistently advocated for healthy, drug-free lifestyles among young Africans.
By integrating elite football education with profound social messaging, Kifa Barham is not only cultivating the next wave of African football talent but also laying the foundation for resilient, purpose-driven communities—demonstrating that the true power of sport lies in its ability to change lives both on and off the pitch.
