Two goals and a mark of 9.17 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Jeffrey Waris breaks a bone — 30 days out
Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 30 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

A one-man rearguard from Abdul Adjei
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.

Tempers go at WAFA
Yaw Mensah 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.
Match14 Nov 2026
A 3‑2 win over New Edubiase United, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Words at WAFA training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Abdul Adjei 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.

Marked 8.19 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.
Market16 Nov 2026
Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Baba Inusah’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

Successful dribbles: 11. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

No sign of nerves from Thomas Gyan at 19 — 8.25
The hardest thing about being 19 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Thomas Gyan did not need any: 8.25, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.
Squad19 Oct 2026
Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Amos Kyereh is 20, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

6 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about WAFA and Liberty Professionals in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.
Match17 Oct 2026
A 4‑2 win over Liberty Professionals, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

WAFA are shipping goals every week
Two or more conceded in each of the last 4 matches. It is not one mistake repeating itself, which would be the easier thing to fix; it is a different one every week.

Successful dribbles: 28. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Three points for WAFA, 2‑0 the final word against BA All Stars in a contest settled by the finer margins.

A performance of 8.30 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

The substitution nobody applauded turned out to be the whole story. WAFA were going nowhere until he came on.

A debut Thomas Gyan will not forget — 7.64
There is exactly one of these per career and it does not usually go like this. 0 on the scoresheet, 7.64 beside the name, and a crowd that had never seen him before chanting it by the end.
Market7 Sep 2026
The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Ernest Ofori 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 WAFA can pretend not to have heard.

Amos Mensah is a better footballer than he was
Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 23 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.

Graduation day at WAFA
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.

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Gladson Djiku 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.

A fracture rules Jeffrey Waris out for 121 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason WAFA will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

“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.

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Jonathan Nuhu and WAFA agree another 3 years.

Baba Mohammed is free to find somewhere else
“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at WAFA has been clear about where Baba Mohammed stands, which is more than many ever get.
