According to the club, Ayew has passed up several (lucrative) opportunities in recent months, having been without a club since last summer. He played his last competitive matches at Le Havre in May 2025. In the meantime, Ayew has maintained his fitness at Nania FC, owned by his father and African football legend Abédi Pelé.

The Ghanaian international has over 120 caps (and 24 goals for his country), has a rich record. Ayew made his mark, particularly at Olympique de Marseille, Swansea City, and West Ham United. He has almost 600 official appearances in the Champions League, Ligue 1, Ligue 2, Premier League, Championship, and the Turkish Super Lig, scoring over 160 goals in those competitions.

Speaking about his transfer to Breda Ayew said: “I’m someone who really enjoys challenges, both personally and as part of a team. I find that here at NAC. I want to do everything I can to help the club and my teammates. We’re in a situation where staying in the Eredivisie is the only thing that matters. The mental aspect is perhaps the most important thing in this situation. Together with our supporters, we must fight this battle head-on in the second half of the season.”

Technical Director Peter Maas explains Ayew’s arrival. “André is eager to help NAC in their fight for survival. That’s become very clear from our conversations. We’re currently in a difficult position with NAC. Ayew has also faced some tough times in his career. He’s a true sportsman who takes good care of himself. We believe that with his experience and specific qualities, he can be of value to NAC right now.”

Ayew joins head coach Carl Hoefkens’ squad immediately. NAC will resume training on Friday, January 2nd, at the BO Infra Training Complex in Zundert.

Kodjo reflects on how, growing up, everyone knew one another. Neighbours were familiar faces, and children grew up together. Today, that sense of togetherness is fading. This event, he explains, is his way of recreating that atmosphere—giving children a shared space to meet, play, and form memories together.

What makes the initiative even more powerful is its inclusivity. Kodjo believes that fun for children should never be divided by wealth. While many activities in the city are priced beyond the reach of ordinary families, this Christmas Eve gathering was intentionally made affordable so that every child, regardless of background, could take part.

The overwhelming turnout, parents trusting the vision, and children showing up in numbers, was deeply emotional for him. “It’s a blessing,” he says, pointing to the joy on the children’s faces as proof that the effort is worth it.

The event has also grown organically. What started as a simple idea at home has now become a seasonal project, improving with each edition. Lessons from the first year shaped the second, and plans are already forming for an even bigger and better third season.

Importantly, Kodjo is quick to emphasize that this is not a one-man effort. Friends, colleagues, and members of the community came together, contributing time, resources, and support. It is, in his words, “a manifestation of a greater group of people who believe in doing something good for children.”

As feedback continues to pour in from parents and residents, one thing is clear: initiatives like this matter. They remind us that sometimes, all it takes to change a community is a simple idea, a big heart, and the willingness to bring people together, especially for the sake of the children.
