Emmanuel Adjei

Champion

Emmanuel Adjei is a 37-year-old proud Ghanaian who left for Germany in 2012 to pursue further education. He holds a B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Sports and Exercise Science from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and currently works as a sports scientist at his university’s hospital for sports medicine and sports cardiology.

Growing up in a sports-enthusiastic nation like Ghana, he excelled in athletics and became a proficient pole vaulter. His affinity for cycling began at age 12, riding his father’s bicycle without permission. However, his newfound hobby was short-lived due to the lack of cycling infrastructure in Ghana.

With time, he rekindled my passion for cycling in Munich, Germany, where cycling enjoys a higher precedence among the city dwellers. Since 2020, he has expanded my cycling experiences to include road cycling and bikepacking, embarking on numerous adventures across Europe.

In June 2025, he is embarking on a 10,000km adventure from Munich to Accra, aiming to raise €100,000 for EduSpots’ work in the process in a journey to build, explore and inspire! Support him here.
