Player ratings26 Oct 2026

Felix Owusu, 21, steals the show — 7.84

Marked 7.84 at 21, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Match24 Oct 2026

5 matches without a win for Liberty Professionals

The run now stands at 5, and the questions being asked around Liberty Professionals are no longer polite ones.

Market26 Oct 2026

David Asante asks to leave Liberty Professionals

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad26 Oct 2026

a squad player in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Liberty Professionals this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match24 Oct 2026

A bad afternoon for Liberty Professionals against Medeama

1‑2 to Medeama, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad26 Oct 2026

A row about effort at Liberty Professionals

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Mohammed Boateng was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Squad26 Oct 2026

David Paintsil stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” David Paintsil and Liberty Professionals agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

The dugout26 Oct 2026

Bernard Asamoah answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 1‑2, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

The dugout26 Oct 2026

Liberty Professionals keep their word to Miracle Ukadike

Clubs make promises constantly and the page usually only hears about them when they are broken. This one was honoured, and the dressing room noticed that faster than any supporter did.

Squad28 Sep 2026

a squad player breaks a bone — 26 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 26 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Player ratings28 Sep 2026

Felix Owusu, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 8.68

A mark of 8.68 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Miracle Ukadike keeps Liberty Professionals in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Market28 Sep 2026

David Asante puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Liberty Professionals, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad28 Sep 2026

A muscle injury and 16 days out for Daniel Afful

The most common injury in the game and the most rushed back from. Liberty Professionals will quote 16 days and will be careful with it, because the second one is always worse than the first.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Real improvement from Baba Kudus at Liberty Professionals

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Baba Kudus is 20, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Player ratings28 Sep 2026

Edmund Paintsil beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 22. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Match26 Sep 2026

Gladson Sulemana the difference as Liberty Professionals beat Heart of Lions

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Gladson Sulemana. 2‑1 against Heart of Lions, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

The terraces28 Sep 2026

Liberty Professionals supporters have found a favourite in Baba Kudus

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 20-year-old it feels ownership of. Baba Kudus has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Squad21 Sep 2026

A fracture rules a squad player out for 35 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Liberty Professionals will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Player ratings21 Sep 2026

Baba Kudus was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 29. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Squad21 Sep 2026

A falling-out at Liberty Professionals

a squad player and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Match19 Sep 2026

Berekum Chelsea take the points off Liberty Professionals

Beaten 2‑3, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Daniel Afful falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Player ratings21 Sep 2026

Edmund Paintsil in the eights

A performance of 8.10 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

The dugout21 Sep 2026

No hiding place for Jonathan Partey

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Jonathan Partey, and the manager let it.

The dugout21 Sep 2026

The view from the dugout

“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 2‑3 defeat, delivered by Bernard Asamoah to a room that had heard them before.

Squad21 Sep 2026

David Acquah stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” David Acquah and Liberty Professionals agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Market31 Aug 2026

The unthinkable, invoiced: Thomas Appiah sold

Hearts of Oak arrived with $780.0K and left with the best player in the building. The board will call it business; the queue at the ticket office will use other words.

Squad31 Aug 2026

A fracture rules a squad player out for 57 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Liberty Professionals will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Market31 Aug 2026

Liberty Professionals say no — this time

The offer from Asante Kotoko for Mohammed Boateng was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

The terraces31 Aug 2026

A $780.0K sale, and a town that did not want it

Thomas Appiah has gone, the accounts have $780.0K in them, and the supporters have the feeling of having been sold something themselves. Good business and a good decision are not always the same thing.

Market31 Aug 2026

David Asante puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Liberty Professionals, and it is not being withdrawn.

Transfer targets31 Aug 2026

Liberty Professionals bid $340.0K for Stephen Kwakye

The offer went to Aduana Stars this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Squad31 Aug 2026

a squad player in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Liberty Professionals this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Jeffrey Inusah is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 17 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Transfer targets31 Aug 2026

Liberty Professionals rebuffed over Emmanuel Kyereh

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. WAFA have kept their man, and Liberty Professionals go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Words exchanged at Liberty Professionals

Kamaldeen Atiemo and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Jonathan Annan stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Jonathan Annan and Liberty Professionals agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Words at Liberty Professionals training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Daniel Afful is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Transfer targets3 Aug 2026

Liberty Professionals try to borrow Kutlwano Letlhaku

Mamelodi Sundowns have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

Transfer targets3 Aug 2026

A loan move for Anthony Cletus is in the works

Liberty Professionals have made the call to Bendel Insurance. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

The dugout3 Aug 2026

Kamaldeen Atiemo knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Liberty Professionals, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Market3 Aug 2026

The clock runs on Jeffrey Gyan's contract

24 months left and silence from upstairs — no offer, no talks, nothing for his people to answer. Clubs that let a calendar do their negotiating usually end up negotiating with the calendar.

Market3 Aug 2026

No place for Christian Djiku in the plan

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Christian Djiku has his answer from Liberty Professionals; what he does with it is the next window’s story.
