Yaw Dabo Set to Auction John Terry’s iPhone 17 Pro Max for GHC2 Million to Fund Soccer Academy
Ghanaian actor and football enthusiast Yaw Dabo is set to auction an iPhone 17 Pro Max reportedly used by former Chelsea and England captain John Terry in the viral “John Telly” video.
The phone, which has become associated with the memorable football-related video featuring the two personalities, is reportedly being valued at GHC2 million. Yaw Dabo is said to have plans to channel the money generated from the auction into the development of facilities for his soccer academy.
Yaw Dabo has in recent years gained attention not only for his work in the Ghanaian entertainment industry but also for his strong passion for football. Through his involvement in football development, he has focused attention on nurturing young talents and providing opportunities for aspiring footballers.
The proposed auction of the phone could therefore serve a bigger purpose beyond simply selling a valuable piece of memorabilia.
According to the details surrounding the auction, the proceeds are intended to support the construction and improvement of facilities at Yaw Dabo’s soccer academy. Such facilities could provide young footballers with a better environment to train, develop their skills and pursue their dreams of becoming professional players.
The “John Telly” video itself generated significant attention among football fans and social media users, with John Terry’s involvement making the moment particularly memorable. The iPhone used in creating the video has since taken on an added sentimental and historical value for those familiar with the viral moment.
Putting a price tag of GHC2 million on the device has also sparked curiosity over whether a football fan, collector or memorabilia enthusiast would be willing to pay such an amount for a phone connected to a famous football personality.
If the auction goes ahead successfully, Yaw Dabo’s plan to invest the proceeds into his soccer academy could make the sale even more significant. Rather than keeping the money solely for personal benefit, the reported intention is to use it to create infrastructure that could contribute to the development of young football talents.
The move also highlights the growing intersection between entertainment, football and social media in Ghana, where viral moments can sometimes develop significant cultural and commercial value.
For now, attention will be on the proposed GHC2 million auction and whether the iPhone 17 Pro Max can attract a buyer willing to pay the reported asking price.
If completed, the sale could turn a memorable social-media moment involving John Terry into an investment in the next generation of footballers.
