Since being on the Ghanaian football scene for only three seasons, it is almost difficult to list the names of the most promising clubs without mentioning the most exciting team from the harbour city.
In 2019, the owner of Tema City, Eric Jerry, spoke of his intention to move the club quickly to the horizon and grab attention on the African stage through a standardized investment model that will implement a unique revenue source new to the Ghanaian football setting that will robustly and vigorously alter the entire architectural framework of the country's football administration.
“We also want to get to the very top of football and be successful there, which is something you can only achieve with a club that plays in one of the top leagues. So first of all we have set a target for ourselves to reach the top-tier in a foreseeable period,” Jerry said in an interview.
Tema City FC plays their home games at the Tema Sports Stadium-a venue that also houses a variety of clubs like Tema Youth FC, Amidaus Professionals, etc.
The venue has produced some of Ghana's most talented players in recent years with Atletico de Madrid star Thomas Partey being among the biggest in recent exports. In bettering the standards set by their rivals in the harbour city the club's youth and scouting policy is enshrined in the core values of modern football technology with head coach Kwame Obeng paying strict attention to details and focused on preparing his squad to be ready for the enormous challenges ahead.
Defender Kelvin Boateng Yeboah and midfielder Benjamin Mireku along with Harrison Danso as well as Salim Baafada represent a key epitome of the new standard of talent regarded at the club.
For all their ambitious business plan, Tema City's policy is one of focusing on youth, nurturing young players by giving them a valuable game time that might not be available elsewhere before selling them on for a profit when they hit their prime.
Their current squad has an average age of just 17 - an age range suitable for an ambitious club of their sort. In 2019 the club host the Palace Trophy at the Complex Sports Arena in Tema and emphatically dispatched Future Heroes to lift the ultimate in the grand finale of the tournament.
The taste for glory and silverware is already eating into the head of the entire fraternity and it seems the right impetus and euphoria needed around to serve as the fuel to propel the vehicle of the club's vision.
It’s difficult to disagree that Tema City’s managerial leadership and head coach Kwame Obeng are the right people. Obeng is an innovative tactician renowned as the brains behind the frenetic passing game that takes after Barcelona's iconic tiki-taka game laced and lined by the legendary Johan Cruyff that is fast becoming the lust and desire of most emerging Ghanaian feeder clubs.
Since its formation, in July 2017 the Temarians have embarked on a road to success and it won't take long before they make their entrance on the big stage in Ghana before pursuing their dreams abroad on the continent.
