Squad7 Dec 2026
A fracture rules Osman Boakye out for 76 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Wa All Stars will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.
Match5 Dec 2026
No end in sight to Wa All Stars's wait for a win
6 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Wa All Stars has to find a result from somewhere.
Squad7 Dec 2026
“Some mornings you wake up and you are still a long way from everything you know.” It is not the football and it never was; Wa All Stars are dealing with a man who wants a different country.
Squad7 Dec 2026
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Wa All Stars this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
Market7 Dec 2026
Both sides expect a conversation in the coming days. Wa All Stars will name a price, and everything after that is arithmetic.
Squad7 Dec 2026
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Joseph Nathaniel, and the manager let it.

The afternoon belonged to Amos Adjei
A mark of 7.82, and nobody in the ground would argue with it. He was involved in everything that mattered and most of what did not.
Match5 Dec 2026
A 1‑1 draw with Inter Allies leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.
Player ratings7 Dec 2026
Successful dribbles: 14. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

A fracture rules Osman Boakye out for 120 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Wa All Stars will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.
Match24 Oct 2026
3‑0, and Amos Adjei took the headlines on an afternoon when everything Wa All Stars tried came off. Days like this are retold all winter.
Market26 Oct 2026
Diego Lima 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 Wa All Stars can pretend not to have heard.
Player ratings26 Oct 2026
Both of them Amos Adjei's — 8.34
2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.34, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.
Player ratings26 Oct 2026
Andrew Acquah, 17, plays like he has been here for years — 7.78
A mark of 7.78 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 17-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.
Squad26 Oct 2026
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Wa All Stars this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
The terraces26 Oct 2026
There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 23-year-old it feels ownership of. Gladson Annan 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.
Squad26 Oct 2026
Words at Wa All Stars training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Abeiku Sulemana 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.
Squad26 Oct 2026
Amos Adjei named player of the week
One weekend, judged against everybody else's. Amos Adjei has come out on top of it, and for most footballers a weekly award is the only silverware a career ever produces.

“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.

Amos Adjei runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 31. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.
Squad19 Oct 2026
“I have given this everything, but my family is not here and neither am I, not really.” A footballer can be coached out of bad form. Nobody has ever been coached out of this, and Wa All Stars know it.
Squad19 Oct 2026
Abeiku Acquah 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.
Squad19 Oct 2026
Osman Amoah has improved at 27, which nobody expected
Careers are supposed to plateau and then decline, and the players who ignore that are always the ones who were listening on the training ground. 3 points of it, over months, at an age where the direction normally only goes one way.
Player ratings19 Oct 2026
Marked 7.89 on an afternoon he ran from the first whistle to the last. Whatever else went wrong, Wa All Stars had the best player on the pitch.

Osman Boakye 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.
Squad28 Sep 2026
Jeffrey Asamoah is a better footballer than he was
Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 19 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.
Squad28 Sep 2026
“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.

Isaac Kyereh 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.
Match26 Sep 2026
It needed Osman Boakye to find the net to bring anything home at all: 1‑1 against Hearts of Oak, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

Osman Boakye 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 Wa All Stars this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
Match19 Sep 2026
Beaten 2‑3, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad21 Sep 2026
The shape wanted a different profile against this opponent, which is a real football answer and no comfort at all to the man it is about. He did nothing wrong and he did not play.
