At just 16, Osman Rahman is making headlines in the Access Bank Division One League, emerging as one of the most promising young goalkeepers in Ghana. Rahman, who plays for Wa Sore Nante SC, has had a meteoric rise from Division II football to becoming a standout performer in Division One.
Rahman first made a name for himself during the 2023/24 Upper West Regional Division II Middle League. His outstanding performances between the posts helped guide Wa Sore Nante SC to promotion, a feat that earned him the coveted Best Goalkeeper award for the competition. His impressive reflexes, shot-stopping ability, and leadership at such a young age caught the attention of football fans and experts alike.
Since Wa Sore Nante SC’s promotion, Rahman has wasted no time making his mark in the Access Bank Division One League. Although he missed the club’s opening game, the young goalkeeper returned in stunning fashion, keeping two consecutive clean sheets. His first was a commanding performance at the McCoy Astro Turf, where he helped his team to a 1-0 triumph over Victory Club Warriors. His calm demeanor and precise decision-making set the foundation for what would come next.
In his second league outing, Rahman’s talent truly shone through in a 1-0 victory over Yapei United FC at the Wa Sports Stadium. In what was a tightly contested match, Rahman delivered a Man of the Match performance, making a series of crucial saves that kept his team in the game. His presence in goal, combined with his quick reflexes and excellent positioning, ensured Wa Sore Nante SC secured the vital three points.
Rahman’s performances have been all the more remarkable given his age. At just 16, he plays with the composure and intelligence of a much older, more experienced goalkeeper. His ability to organize his defense and step up in high-pressure situations has been key to Wa Sore Nante SC’s early success in Division One.
Looking ahead, Rahman’s future looks incredibly bright. As he continues to develop and gain experience, there’s no doubt that he will continue to attract attention from bigger clubs and possibly even earn national team recognition. For now, though, Wa Sore Nante SC is lucky to have one of the most exciting young goalkeepers in the country on their roster.
With Rahman in goal, Wa Sore Nante SC fans can look forward to more standout performances and, hopefully, a successful campaign in the Access Bank Division One League. Keep an eye on this rising star—Osman Rahman is just getting started.
