The Ghanaian volunteer coach was elevated to the prestigious position following his remarkable commitment and contribution to the game and society at large
Ghanaian casual coach Prince Antwi has been named Premier League Community Captain by the Watford FC’s Community Sports and Education Trust, the club have confirmed.
The appointment forms part of Premier League’s ‘More Than A Game’ campaign, which highlights the positive impact of Premier League investment into communities and clubs at every level of football.
The Ghanaian young coach, who was chosen to manage the Under-16s in the Kicks Cup in 2023, stated whiles being presented with his Community Captain pack by the Watford FC’s Club Captain Daniel Bachmann: ''I’m very honoured to be selected as the Community Captain because I thought I was just doing what I do but people have actually realised and seen what I’ve been doing and think I deserve something.”
Prince is one of 100 Community Captains from across the country as individuals have been nominated by Premier League, EFL and National League clubs for their contribution to their local community via programmes funded by the Premier League.
Prince relocated to Hertfordshire with his younger brother and sister from Accra, Ghana in 2021, and initially found it hard to settle in the area due to the language barrier and lack of support networks.
Then, one day as he walked past the Meriden Community Centre to enquire what activities took place, his journey with the Trust began.
