Stephen Acquah (born 1 May 2006) is a Ghanaian professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Danish Superliga club Nordsjælland.[1]
Career
[edit source]He was a member of the Right to Dream Academy in Ghana from the age of ten years-old, prior to signing for Danish Superliga club FC Nordsjælland in May 2024 as an 18 year-old, initially to link up with the club's under-19 team, but agreeing to a four-year contract.[2][3]
After impressing for the youth team during the Premier League International Cup, he joined-up the club's first team squad in February 2025.[2] He made an assist for the club in a 5-2 win over Randers FC on 13 April 2025 in just his second appearance. At first he was listed as the goalscorer, but was later changed when it turned out that his teammate Gustav Wikheim had touched the ball on the way to the goal.[4][5] In May 2025, he scored a late equaliser for the club to secure a 2-2 draw against Brondby IF in the Danish Superliga, 40 seconds after coming on as a second-half substitute, to score his first goal in four league appearances.[6][7]
