Actor Lil Win’s football age revealed as his ID card as a professional footballer drops [Photo]
Kumawood actor and producer, Kwadwo Nkansah, alias Lil Win, who reportedly signed a two-year contract with premier league football club, New Edubiase United, a month ago is truly a professional footballer.
The actor cum entrepreneur was among five other players unveiled by the club as new signees on Friday, October 15, 2021, in a ceremony ahead of the start of the 2021-22 Ghana Premier League
While many people lauded Lil Win’s new feat as a footballer, others were in doubt about the announcement as they asserted that his association with the club could purely be on an ambassadorial basis.
Some suggested that his unveiling as a footballer of the club was only a publicity stunt to woo his supporters to the club.
Lil Win subsequently confirmed that although the CEO of the club wanted him to be an ambassador the coach of the team pushed for him to also play on the field for the next two seasons.
Sports Journalist, Saddick Adams, on Thursday, 18th November 2021, took to Twitter to share Lil Win’s ID Card which shows the actor is now recognised as a professional footballer by the Ghana Football Association.
The date of birth stated on it is 15th April 1987, which means Kwadwo Nkansah is 34 years old.
While speaking on Accra-based Happy FM after his signing, Lil said: “It’s time to play football. I have signed two seasons for New Edubiase United,” he told A.
“I currently play in the Number 7 position or any position in the midfield. The coach is the one who requested me. The CEO wants me as the ambassador and the Coach also wants me to play. I can play the first 45 minutes and with time I can play full 90 minutes. As long as I play for New Edubiase United no team will beat us.”

Renowned Ghanaian music heavyweight, Empress Gifty, has dedicated her seven awards won in 2025 to President John Dramani Mahama.
The musician and her management, led by Edem Mensah-Tsotorme, together with her husband, Mr Hopeson Adorye, called on the President at the Jubilee House on Thursday, October 9, 2025.
Empress Gifty, in her remarks, said the visit was to officially congratulate the President, who has been a father figure for her for many years, and also update him on successes chalked in her career.
She thanked the President for his guidance over the years and promised to even do better in the years ahead, as she prepares to release her new song for the year.
The gospel musician also appealed to President Mahama to consider building a large seating auditorium for the creative arts industry.
She appealed to the President for a 10,000 to 30,000 large seating auditorium to improve the fortunes of the creative sector when it comes to events in the country.
This, she said, would go a long way to help the sector flourish and position the country for other international events in the future.
Additionally, she urged the President to ensure the creative sector gets substantial allocation in the next budget.
The President, on his part, thanked Empress Gifty, who he calls his daughter, and the team for the visit, expressing how proud he was of her growth.
Again, he charged her to continuously work even harder for more laurels.
President Mahama pledged his commitment to the growth of the creative arts industry, adding that with regard to a large seating auditorium for the space, he has received some designs and suggestions for a convention centre which are under consideration.
According to him, once suggestions were approved and issues of funding are addressed, this would serve a multipurpose function and host many activities throughout the year.
The President further pledged his unflinching support for the creative arts sector and assured of budgetary support in the years ahead.
