Iddrisu Mohammed is the rhythm keeper of Kenpong Academy’s midfield, a Ghanaian dynamo whose play mirrors the pulse of traditional drum circles—controlled, intuitive, and impossible to ignore. At 5’5″, he thrives as the connective tissue between defense and attack, using his compact frame to glide through tight spaces and dictate tempo with a right foot that’s equal parts precision and flair. Born in Ghana’s football-crazed Volta Region, Iddrisu’s game is steeped in the improvisation of beachside kickabouts, where quick thinking and quicker feet reign supreme.

In the #23 jersey, he’s a dual-force—breaking up plays with terrier-like tenacity one moment, then springboarding attacks with audacious diagonal passes the next. Coaches call him the “silent conductor” for his knack of slowing chaos into order, often redirecting play with a single touch. His secret weapon? A preternatural sense of timing, honed by years of watching his fisherman father sync with the tides—a rhythm he now applies to midfield battles.

Off the pitch, Iddrisu is a budding poet, scribbling verses about his coastal hometown and the dance between discipline and spontaneity. A devout admirer of Ghanaian highlife music, he credits its syncopated beats for his ability to “hear” gaps in play before they form. Mentoring kids in his community, he teaches them to see football as a language—one where every pass tells a story.

“Iddrisu doesn’t just play—he listens. His feet translate the game’s whispers into something beautiful.”
