Former Black Stars goalkeeper Fatawu Dauda has issued a timely warning to footballers to start planning for retirement while they’re still on the pitch.
In an interview with Joy Sports, Dauda emphasized the crucial importance of financial foresight and long-term planning.
“When you’re earning a good income, it’s easy to get distracted,” Dauda cautioned. “But football is a short-term career. I started planning my future while playing for AshGold, and I urge others to do the same. Think about it: you retire at 35, and then you have another 40 years ahead of you. What will you do without a steady income?”
“Save your money now, because when you hang up your boots, that’s when life truly begins,” he advised.
Fatawu previously played in South Africa and Ghana, including 26 appearances for the Black Stars.
