Market11 Jan 2027

WAFA say no — this time

The offer from Berekum Chelsea for Christian Mohammed 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.

Market11 Jan 2027

Jeffrey Afful 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.

Squad11 Jan 2027

A one-man rearguard from a squad player

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.

Squad11 Jan 2027

Real improvement from Christian Mensah at WAFA

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Christian Mensah is 19, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Match9 Jan 2027

7 unbeaten for WAFA

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 7 matches without defeat is a foundation WAFA did not have in the autumn.

Transfer targets11 Jan 2027

Great Olympics tell WAFA: Ikenna Nkwazema is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Match9 Jan 2027

Ashanti Gold end the WAFA run at 6

Every run ends on an afternoon somebody had marked down as routine. This one went 6 matches, which is long enough that a town had stopped counting, and short enough that it will remember exactly who stopped it.

Squad11 Jan 2027

Words exchanged at WAFA

Ernest Boakye 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.

The terraces11 Jan 2027

The crowd has taken to a squad player

At 22 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.

Match26 Dec 2026

WAFA cannot stop winning

5 wins on the spin now, and the question has changed from whether the run ends to who ends it. Confidence like this cannot be bought; it has to be earned exactly this way.

The dugout28 Dec 2026

Abraham Baba keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” WAFA may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad28 Dec 2026

Real improvement from a squad player at WAFA

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. a squad player is 22, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

The terraces28 Dec 2026

One of their own: Ernest Boakye

He is 23 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Match26 Dec 2026

WAFA find a way past Hasaacas

Hasaacas made WAFA work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Looking ahead28 Dec 2026

Top-of-the-table clash for WAFA

Hearts of Oak next, and the two sides the division is watching meet each other. Whoever wins will be told nothing is decided in the same breath as being congratulated.

Player ratings28 Dec 2026

Christian Mohammed did the work nobody counts — 7.98

10 combined actions and 7.98. The job he did is the one that shows up as other people looking good, and the only reliable way to notice it is to watch what happens on the afternoons he is missing.

Squad28 Dec 2026

Ernest 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 WAFA this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings28 Dec 2026

Ernest Boakye stands above it all

Some games turn on a moment; this one turned on a man. 7.99 on the card, and the WAFA support went home talking about one name.

Player ratings26 Oct 2026

Nobody could get near Johan Nkama

Successful dribbles: 21. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match24 Oct 2026

WAFA find a way past Great Olympics

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

The terraces26 Oct 2026

One of their own: Ernest Boakye

He is 23 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Player ratings26 Oct 2026

Ernest Boakye was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.36. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Sunday Nwakali was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.22. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Squad26 Oct 2026

Words exchanged at WAFA

Albert Essien 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.

The dugout26 Oct 2026

Felix Baba: “That is the standard”

“That is what I want every week. Not the result, the way they went about it.” The manager, after 3‑2, already talking about the next one.

The dugout26 Oct 2026

The manager makes an example of Abraham Baba

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

The dugout26 Oct 2026

Kwadwo Mensah left out for tactical reasons at WAFA

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.

Daniel Ofori 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 WAFA this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The dugout12 Oct 2026

No hiding place for Cheick Haidara

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

Market12 Oct 2026

WAFA and Abraham Baba are talking past each other

“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.

Squad12 Oct 2026

The penny has dropped for Johan Nkama

He looks like a man who lives here now rather than one who is working here. It took most of a season, and at WAFA the difference is visible from the back of the stand.

Looking ahead12 Oct 2026

Home comforts ahead for WAFA

Wa All Stars, position 5, come to town on Saturday. Nobody will call it a big game and nobody at the club will be treating it as anything else.

Squad12 Oct 2026

The selectors could not leave a squad player out

6.73 across ninety minutes and a place in the division's team of the week. He was the best player on that pitch and everybody there knew it.
