An Egyptian conglomerate worth billions of dollars has invested $120m to take control of the Right To Dream academy, which was founded in Ghana in 1999 by a former Manchester United scout. Right To Dream started out with a handful of youngsters being trained by Tom Vernon, once Manchester United's head scout in Africa, on basic dust-filled pitches in Accra. Focusing on both education and football, Right To Dream has grown to such extent that it bought Danish top-flight side FC Nordsjaelland in 2016. The Mansour Group, which reported revenues in excess of $7.5 billion in 2018, deals in a variety of interests, with automotive, energy, finance and food among them. The group has created an entity called ManSports to oversee its first foray into the world of sports. 'ManSports … will now focus on establishing a Right To Dream academy in Egypt, and furthering the activities of the Right To Dream academy in Ghana, the FC Nordsjaelland club and academy in Denmark,' a statement said. ManSports is also keen to explore 'UK opportunities at club and academy level', with BBC Sport Africa understanding that the group is eyeing a non-Premier League club in the London area. Right To Dream will now build an academy in Egypt, for boys and girls, with construction on the site in West Cairo set to begin this year ahead of an intended intake of students next year. The launch of a new professional women's football team in Egypt is expected to follow soon after. Mansour Group chairman Mohamed Mansour - whose grandfather Mostafa was a member of Egypt's 1934 World Cup squad - is the seventh richest man in Africa, and 590th in the world, according to Forbes magazine. His son Loutfy - based in the English capital London - will head up ManSports. While the Egyptian business giants have assumed majority control, with Mohamed Mansour becoming chairman, Vernon himself will remain as the 'other significant shareholder' in the company and operate as CEO. 'Our partnership with Right To Dream is taking a strong African-born organisation, with values that align to our own, and sharing more of it with the world to change more people's lives,' said Mohamed Mansour. 'Growing the next generation of Egyptian football talent with aspiring boys and girls, and supporting the growth of our women's team, is the most meaningful way for us to start investing in football.' 'Our expansion into Egypt and Europe is further evidence that Ghana can export its football values and culture, not just its players,' added Vernon. - BBC

The game Warri is a board game belonging to an ancient family of pit and pebble games which originated in Africa.The game originated in the Sudan and spread to western Africa from which it travelled to the Caribbean in the 17th century. It is one of the most interesting examples of African heritage surviving in the Caribbean. It is believed to be one of the worlds oldest games and to have derived from some sort of abacus used in accounting. The game has been played in St. Lucia, St. Kitts, Martinique, Dopminica, Suriname and Jamaica. There are also warri tournaments in Barbados but Antigua and Barbuda , with its legions of warri enthusisasts and a vibrant National Warri Association may well be regarded as the last bastion of warri in the region.
