Amoako back on the pitch: surprise in the duel against Wolfsburg!

News from the football world: Kofi Amoako, the young midfielder with great prospects, has joined Dynamo Dresden. The 20-year-old, who was previously under contract with VfL Wolfsburg, would like to get started with the Saxon club. “I’m really looking forward to the new challenge and the atmosphere in the Rudolf Harbig Stadium,” said the newcomer enthusiastically. He will also meet his former colleagues from Wolfsburg at the preparatory tournament in Zwickau on Sunday, where he took his first steps in the Bundesliga under coach Niko Kovac.

What makes Kofi Amoako so special? According to Thomas Brendel, SGD Sports Director, he brings a lot of talent and could play a central role in the game. Last season he played for both VfL Osnabrück and the German U20 national team, where he made his debut on March 21, 2025. He now wants to use this experience to gain a foothold in the 2nd Bundesliga. SGD plans to use him as a six, with Vinko Sapina also available for selection. It remains to be seen whether Amoako will play against regional league team FSV Zwickau or VfL Wolfsburg on Sunday.

Preparatory tournament in Zwickau

The preparatory tournament, which takes place next Sunday, will be a special event for Amoako. “It will definitely be exciting to meet old friends like Kevin Paredes and Aster Vranckx,” Amoako continued. Coach Thomas Stamm is planning to set up a potential regular formation and is excited to see how the new players present themselves. The kick-off against FSV Zwickau takes place at 2 p.m., followed immediately by the duel against Wolfsburg at 3 p.m.

Amoako is aware of the challenge that the game against Wolfsburg brings. He was particularly supported in his development by his former coach Niko Kovac. He sometimes shouted at him to motivate him, and Maximilian Arnold, an important contact, helped him with valuable tips such as “Stay calm and use multiple ball contacts”. Even though Amoako didn't speak directly to Arnold about his move - he wanted to surprise him - the anticipation of the reunion is great.

His career and the future

Kofi Amoako was born on May 6, 2005 in Hanover. His football journey started at TSV Fortuna Sachsenross before moving to Hannover 96's youth team in 2016. He then played for the U17, U18 and U19 national teams of the DFB, where he made a name for himself. Despite the difficulty of gaining a foothold in Wolfsburg, the talented player now has the opportunity to prove his skills in Dresden.

With the current transfer record of the 3rd League in mind, where Dynamon are looking for a good mix of experienced players and talent, Amoako will certainly be adapted to the expectations placed on him. Overall, the transfers so far are promising, which also underlines the SGD's ambitions. The season begins two weeks after the preparatory tournament, and Amoako wants to help ensure that it is a successful season for Dresden.
