Marked for David Baba

A fracture rules Nana Schlupp out for 61 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Hasaacas will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.
Player ratings7 Dec 2026
2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.99, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.
Squad7 Dec 2026
A one-man rearguard from David Baba
There were 6 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.
Match5 Dec 2026
4 matches without a win for Hasaacas
The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Hasaacas are no longer polite ones.
Squad7 Dec 2026
Felix Amoah 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 Hasaacas this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
Match5 Dec 2026
8 goals as Hasaacas and WAFA go for it
Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 8 goals between Hasaacas and WAFA, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.
Squad7 Dec 2026
“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Francis Partey commits to Hasaacas for another 2 years.
Match5 Dec 2026
A 4‑4 draw with WAFA leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.
Player ratings7 Dec 2026
Successful dribbles: 11. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Nana Schlupp breaks a bone — 97 days out
Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 97 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.
Match2 Nov 2026
Hasaacas refuse to drop out of the race
Position 3, 19 points, and the result everyone checks first is now theirs. The word is still not being said around the ground, which is how you know everyone is thinking it.
Squad2 Nov 2026
Words at Hasaacas training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Felix Amoah 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.
Player ratings2 Nov 2026
A midfielder is measured on whether the team functions when he is on the pitch, which is nearly impossible to see and completely obvious in retrospect. 9 actions, 6.62, and a manager who will not be substituting him again in a hurry.
Loan watch2 Nov 2026
“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Hasaacas, and 0 appearances in 9 say he has earned the hearing.
Squad2 Nov 2026
Albert Wakaso was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.
Squad2 Nov 2026
David Baba named in the team of the month
A month is long enough that nobody gets in by accident. David Baba is in the division's best eleven for it, which is a quieter compliment than an award and a more reliable one.
Player ratings2 Nov 2026
Nobody could get near Baba Nuhu
Successful dribbles: 14. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.
Match31 Oct 2026
Nil-nil, and few chances worth the name. New Edubiase United came to defend and left with exactly what they came for.

Hasaacas make it 3 in a row
Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now Hasaacas have 3 straight wins of it.
Squad5 Oct 2026
Mustafa Yahaya was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Hasaacas, and 0 appearances in 5 say he has earned the hearing.
Player ratings5 Oct 2026
A mark of 7.52, and nobody in the ground would argue with it. He was involved in everything that mattered and most of what did not.
Squad5 Oct 2026
Thomas Mohammed named in the team of the month
A month is long enough that nobody gets in by accident. Thomas Mohammed is in the division's best eleven for it, which is a quieter compliment than an award and a more reliable one.
Squad5 Oct 2026
Nana Schlupp gets it from the manager
“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Great Olympics made Hasaacas work for it, but the scoreboard read 3‑2 at the end and the table does not ask how.

At 18 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.
Squad28 Sep 2026
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to David Baba, and the manager let it.

It finished 3‑2, and it was Afriyie Sulemana’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Hasaacas.

A performance of 8.38 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

David Addo 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.

“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.

Graduation day at Hasaacas
5 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.
Squad7 Sep 2026
Words at Hasaacas training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Felix Amoah 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.
Market7 Sep 2026
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Amos Schlupp is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.
Market7 Sep 2026
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Gladson Owusu has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.
Market7 Sep 2026
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Samuel Baba has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
Match5 Sep 2026
BA All Stars made Hasaacas work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.
Player ratings7 Sep 2026
7.71, and no serious argument from anybody who was there. Hasaacas had eleven men on the pitch and one of them decided how it went.

Hasaacas say no — this time
The offer from Asante Kotoko for David Baba 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.

Nana Paintsil breaks a bone — 15 days out
Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 15 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Albert Wakaso hands in a written request
“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Hasaacas can pretend not to have heard.

Mustafa Yahaya was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

“The easiest signature of my career.” Christian Addo and Hasaacas agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.
