Kofi Amoako: Completely new to Dynamo! See you again in Wolfsburg!

Dynamo Dresden has a hot iron in the fire: 20-year-old Kofi Amoako is moving from Wolfsburg to SGD and strengthening the squad for the coming second division season. The talented player remembers his experiences at VfL Wolfsburg fondly and is excited to see old friends again. On Sunday he will meet his former club at the preparatory tournament in the Zwickau Stadium. Dynamo will face regional league side FSV Zwickau and VfL Wolfsburg on this day, with Amoako's top priority being meeting his former teammates such as Kevin Paredes and Aster Vranckx. [Bild] reports that the game between Dynamo and Wolfsburg will kick off at 3 p.m.

Amoako, who previously worked for VfL Osnabrück on loan, is pleased with his move and looks forward to the challenges ahead with great expectations. After 33 competitive games for Osnabrück, in which he spent over 2,200 minutes, he now wants to show what he's made of. “I’m looking forward to the atmosphere in the Rudolf Harbig Stadium,” explains Amoako. The head coach of the SGD, Thomas Stamm, also has high hopes for his new addition. “Kofi brings stability to our game with his athletic stature,” said Stamm. [Dynamo Dresden] emphasizes that Amoako should shine primarily in the six position.

A path full of successes

Kofi Amoako was born in Hanover and began his football career at TSV Fortuna Sachsenross. In 2016 he moved to Hannover 96's youth team before joining VfL Wolfsburg's U17s in 2019, where he later became captain of the U19s. After signing his first professional contract in 2023, he made his Bundesliga debut against Darmstadt on December 16, 2023. The following season he was loaned out to Osnabrück and got valuable playing time there. On March 21, 2025, he made his debut in the German U20 national team under coach Hannes Wolf when he was named to the squad for the Elite League. [Kicker] reports that he is one of the newcomers to the team that will play against the Czech Republic and Portugal.

Amoako describes his time under Niko Kovac, the former coach of VfL Wolfsburg and now active at Dortmund, as formative. Kovac gave him the chance to prove himself in the Bundesliga, even if his loud coaching style sometimes gave him headaches. The young player was also able to get valuable tips from Maximilian Arnold, a former Dresden player, to help him both on and off the pitch.

Exciting prospects for the SGD

Amoako has impressed in previous friendlies and could prove to be a key player for SGD. It remains to be seen whether he will play in defensive midfield alongside Vinko Sapina in the first encounter. Preparation for the next second division season is in full swing and fans hope that the new signing can keep his promises. Kofi Amoako is ready to give his best and exceed expectations. “I want to develop further and contribute to a successful season,” emphasizes the talented player.

The anticipation of the new challenges is reflected in the faces of the new signings and the entire team appears motivated. The first real endurance test will come on Sunday, and the fans are asking themselves: Can Dynamo Dresden fight for promotion to the top league with this new line-up? This remains exciting!
