He is the Founder and Head of Pan Africa Football.
The hard working American is poised to transform African football to an unimaginable height.

Not only that, he’s also confident of breaking the hurdles preventing many talented African players from traveling to Europe and other countries.

Undoubtedly over the last 12 months, the Pan Africa Football Owner chalked up several significant successes thereby etching his name in the echelons of the African football industry.
Mr. Olsson’s project covers CAF, FIFA and CAF club competitions.
The most heartwarming step by the American is to support young players who are determined to exert their football skills elsewhere but find it difficult to access any.
To hoist football activities across the black jurisdiction, Andrew never hesitated to develop an award-winning website.
The site which was launched in Ghana’s Bono Region capital Sunyani was hailed and described by many football enthusiasts as a game-changer.
He launched his super classic website dubbed panafricafootball.com between 17th September to 5th October 2021.
