Yaw Dabo, a football manager and actor from Ghana, has announced ambitions to bring former Chelsea and England captain John Terry to Ghana.
In a recent interview on Angel FM, Dabo revealed that talks are in progress for the football icon to travel to Ghana, which might further their already developing bond.
The disclosure follows football fans’ fascination with Dabo and Terry during the 2026 FIFA World Cup. After passionately referring to the former Chelsea defender as “John Telly” during Ghana’s match against England, Dabo went viral.

What started out as a funny event has grown into a significant bond between the two. Later, Terry wished Dabo and his football academy success in a special video greeting. The legendary Chelsea player also stated that he hoped to visit Dabo and the young players at the Ghanaian academy.
Since then, Dabo has kept talking about his encounters with Terry and other international football players, such as Jude Bellingham. His participation in the World Cup attracted a lot of attention and contributed to the international recognition of his football development initiative.
Terry’s presence in Ghana might significantly strengthen Dabo’s football academy and motivate young Ghanaian football players if the planned visit comes to pass.
Terry was captain of both Chelsea and the England national team, and he is considered by many to be one of Chelsea’s best defenders. For Ghanaian football fans, especially young players who grew up watching his career, his potential visit would therefore be a momentous occasion.
For now, fans are eagerly waiting to see whether the man behind the famous “John Telly” moment will actually welcome the Chelsea legend to Ghana.
