Sankara Nationals FC duo Abdallah Abdul Haleem and Mohammed Chipurah have departed Ghana for Spain to begin trials with unnamed European clubs, in what marks a major step in their promising football careers.

The two players left through the Kotoka International Airport on Wednesday evening as they seek opportunities to secure professional contracts abroad ahead of the new season.

Defender Abdallah Abdul Haleem and striker Mohammed Chipurah were both instrumental figures for Sankara Nationals FC during the 2025/2026 Access Bank Division One League campaign.

Their impressive performances played a key role in helping the Yendi-based club secure a respectable fourth-place finish in the league.Haleem earned praise throughout the season for his composure, defensive discipline, and leadership at the back, while Chipurah stood out with his attacking qualities, pace, and eye for goal.

Their consistent displays attracted attention from football scouts, leading to the opportunity to undergo trials in Spain. The club believes the trip could open doors for the talented pair to begin professional careers in Europe and further raise the profile of Sankara Nationals FC as a growing hub for young football talents in Northern Ghana.

The opportunity was made possible through the efforts of the club’s Chief Executive Officer, Alhaji Osman Baba Daney, whose dedication to player development continues to create pathways for young talents to excel on the international stage.

Management, supporters, and the entire Sankara Nationals family have expressed confidence in the duo and wished them success as they embark on this important journey.
