Ghanaian actor and football investor Samuel Yaw Dabo recently made headlines during his visit to France, where he toured the facilities of Ligue 1 club FC Nantes. While the primary purpose of his trip was to strengthen ties for his Dabo Soccer Academy, it was his oversized winter jacket that became the talk of social media.
According to YEN, Dabo, known for his roles in Kumawood movies and his passion for football, has been actively working to bridge the gap between Ghanaian talents and international clubs. His visit to FC Nantes, a club with a rich history in French football, was a significant step in this direction.
During the tour, Dabo engaged with FC Nantes officials, discussing the club’s recruitment processes for African players.
“How do you recruit players from Africa?” Dabo asked his guide, showcasing his commitment to creating opportunities for young Ghanaian talents.
However, it was his choice of attire that caught the attention of fans. In a video shared on social media, Dabo was seen wearing an oversized winter jacket, which quickly became a topic of amusement and admiration.
The video sparked a wave of reactions online, with many Ghanaians praising Dabo’s efforts while poking fun at his jacket.
“So Yaw… couldn’t get a jacket of his size to buy? Instead of going to the children’s section, he decided to go to the grown-up section all because he was shy,” joked Skiin321.
Another user, Magoo Guy, humorously remarked, “The person who bought the jacket for Yaw Dabo will not make it to heaven.”
Despite the jokes, many applauded Dabo’s dedication to promoting Ghanaian football.
“I’m really happy how you’re putting Ghana on the map. God richly bless you, Big Dabo,” wrote Ova Rich Brinnyson .
Dabo’s visit to FC Nantes is part of his broader mission to elevate Ghanaian football. Last year, he invited Arsenal scout Phil Antwi to Ghana to explore talents at his academy. His efforts have not gone unnoticed, with many commending his commitment to nurturing young players.
