Levert Achu, from Cameroon Rush to the USA

After months of joint efforts from the Rush international affairs department and Cameroon Rush, Levert Achu, captain of Rush FM FC in Cameroon (Bamenda), arrived less than a week ago at the Rush Soccer Academy in the United States of America.

 

The 2005 player, star of his team, and midfielder for Rush FM FC in Cameroon, recently began training alongside his new USA teammates and is excited to see where this new journey in the USA takes him.

 

After three years of intense training, Levert looks back on his time with Rush Soccer: 

 

“​​ Rush is renowned to be one of the best football clubs in Bamenda because of its excellence, hard work, and commitment to football. We have many great talents there who are willing to get higher in their academic career.” 

 

Levert is a perfect example of the Rush pathway from Africa to the USA. After putting hours of hard work into training, he was recognized and scouted by the Rush staff and was awarded a full-ride scholarship to the Rush Soccer Academy.  Just like him, other players benefited from this pathway, the most famous of them being Kekutah Manneh from Gambia Rush, who is currently excelling in the MLS. 

 

Cameroon Rush, aka Rush FM FC is one of the best schools of soccer in Africa. “They are doing a tremendous work and are proudly representing the Rush Way,” said Tim Schulz, CEO & President of Rush Soccer. 

 

The future is bright for Levert as he will begin his professional career after joining the ranks of the Rush Academy.

He also has a few words regarding his former teammates in Cameroon: 

We have numerous players within our club with incredible potential that are very skilled, and are willing to benefit from the Rush pathway to be recruited to start a professional career in the USA”.

A great night for Rush women's soccer last night as our Academy Females beat Thunder Bay Impact 4-1 to win the Thunder Bay Women's League playoff championship! Not all was lost for Impact though (which is made up almost entirely of graduated Rush/Lakehead Express rep players) as they took home the silverware for winning the league championship! Rush soccer continues to dominate the Thunder Bay women's soccer landscape with two more championships! Congratulations to all players and coaches for continuing to make us proud #rushcap #rush_cap #futurestartsnow #tbaysoccer #superiorrushfc #thunderbaysoccer #rushsoccer #JoinTheRush

What a weekend for our Excel Males and Females in Appleton, Wisconsin! After a successful Day One with both teams going 2 and 0, both teams followed that up with another perfect record on Day Two. The girls started their day with a very tough 1-0 win over United FC from Iowa who also had a perfect record going into the third game, and then completed their perfect record with a 6-0 win over River Surge FC. The boys had to dig in their heels with two tough games where they were physically outmatched, but they let their ball movement do the talking with a 4-1 win over the Madison 56ers SC and then a gritty 4-2 win over Middleton United who were also undefeated going into the 4th game. Both teams end the weekend with a perfect 4 and 0 record and some great memories to cap off the 2025 outdoor season. Congratulations to all players and families, and kudos to Rob and Bree and the entire coaching staff this weekend #futurestartsnow #tbaysoccer #superiorrushfc #thunderbaysoccer #rushsoccer #JoinTheRush

Congratulations to our Academy Males & Jr Academy Females for winning the Tonka Splash tournament this past weekend in Minnetonka! The Tonka Splash is quickly becoming one of the premiere tournaments in the Midwest, but many games and divisions were cancelled due to weather. Of the 6 teams involved, only 4 got to play. The Academy Females narrowly missed out on the championship game, and the Jr Academy Males would have played in the finals had there been one for their division. All in all, it was a fantastic weekend with a second gold medal for the Jr Academy Females in 2 consecutive tournaments, and 2 gold medals for the Academy Males in 3 consecutive finals. Congratulations to all players, families and coaches for a fantastic weekend and making Rush Nation proud! #rushcap #rush_cap #futurestartsnow #tbaysoccer #thunderbaysoccer #superiorrushfc #rushsoccer #JoinTheRush
