Abdul Hafiz Konkoni, a proud son of the Upper West Region and a player for Ethiopian Coffee Club in the Ethiopian Premier League, has won the hearts of many people in Wa and beyond for his humility and generosity.

Many, including Abdul-Moomin Kotia Mohammed, have praised Hafiz for his respectful and humble nature, which they say reminds them of famous footballer Ngolo Kante. “He has always remembered where he comes from and pays respect to his roots,” Kotia Mohammed said.

Unlike many professional footballers who focus on luxury and showing off expensive cars, clothes, and watches, Hafiz has chosen to help his community. His kind heart has touched almost everyone who meets him, and people continue to pray for his success. “May God continue to guide you, may God bless your journey of stardom, and may we all learn from your generous nature. Aameen,” said Kotia Mohammed.

Hafiz Konkoni is organizing a special football match called The All Stars Game through his Hafiz Konkoni Foundation. The game, which will bring together football stars from the Upper West Region, is aimed at raising funds to support the less privileged in society.

The match is scheduled for Friday, 4th July 2025, at the BK Adama Youth Resource Center in Wa-Dondoli, the regional capital.
