Adambathia Larsen "Adam" Kwarasey (born 12 December 1987) is a professional footballer who plays for Danish club Brøndby, as a goalkeeper.
Born in Norway, Kwarasey represents Ghana at international level.
Kwarasey was born in Oslo, Norway to a father from Ghana and a mother from Norway. He holds both Ghanaian and Norwegian passports.
Kwarasey played youth football with Trosterud and Vålerenga. After moving to Strømsgodset, he made his debut on 6 May 2007. Kwarasey was the captain of the club when Strømsgodset in 2013 won Tippeligaen for the first time since 1970. He also won the Kniksen Award as the best goalkeeper in the 2013 season.
Kwarasey announced on 31 October 2014 that he would leave Strømsgodset after the 2014 season, when his contract expired.
Kwarasey signed for Major League Soccer club Portland Timbers in December 2014. In the knockout round of MLS Cup 2015 against Sporting Kansas City Kwarasey scored a penalty then saved his opposite number Jon Kempin's shot to help his team win the shootout and advance to the next round. During the match against San Jose Earthquakes on April 16 2016, Kwarasey suffered a finger injury, which turned out to be a torn ligament that would rule him out for a month.
Kwarasey returned to Norwegian football in July 2016 after signing a three-and-a-half year contract with Rosenborg. The Timbers stated that this move "helps free up cap space" and "made sense for Kwarasey and his family."
