Squad19 Jul 2027

Baba Baba breaks a bone — 19 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 19 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad19 Jul 2027

Baba Salifu Apiiga is the real thing at 20

A season average of 7.02 at an age when most of his year group are still in the youth team. Wa All Stars know what they have, and so, by now, does everybody else.

Squad19 Jul 2027

A falling-out at Wa All Stars

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

Transfer targets19 Jul 2027

Asante Kotoko tell Wa All Stars: 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.

Squad19 Jul 2027

Steven Nufour 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.

The dugout19 Jul 2027

When it matters, Afriyie Baba plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Squad12 Jul 2027

27 days out for Baba Baba after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Wa All Stars will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Squad12 Jul 2027

Bernard Owusu 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.

Squad12 Jul 2027

Words at Wa All Stars 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.

The dugout12 Jul 2027

No hiding place for Daniel Kyereh

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

Market12 Jul 2027

Still no ink between Wa All Stars and Daniel Kyereh

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Wa All Stars, another week without a signature from Daniel Kyereh.

The dugout12 Jul 2027

When it matters, Gladson Adjei plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

34 days out for Baba Baba after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Wa All Stars will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Squad5 Jul 2027

Baba Salifu Apiiga honoured for the season

The kind of year that ends with a name being read out in a hall. Wa All Stars had the benefit of it every week and now have the problem of everybody else knowing.

Squad5 Jul 2027

Tempers go at Wa All Stars

Bernard Owusu 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.

Transfer targets5 Jul 2027

Wa All Stars rebuffed over Amadu Abdulai

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

Squad5 Jul 2027

Words at Wa All Stars 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.

The dugout5 Jul 2027

The manager makes an example of Afriyie 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.

Squad7 Sep 2026

The knee: Christian Afful out for 21 days

21 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Wa All Stars lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Boardroom7 Sep 2026

Window shuts: 8 in, 1 out at Wa All Stars

The deadline has passed and the squad is the squad. 8 arrived, 1 left, and everything else printed about this club last month was a rumour that stayed one.

Boardroom7 Sep 2026

Graduation day at Wa All Stars

2 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.

Transfer targets7 Sep 2026

Wa All Stars baulk at the price for Shayibu Abubakari

Asante Kotoko wanted more than $21.0K and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Words exchanged at Wa All Stars

Steven Nufour 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.

Market7 Sep 2026

Wa All Stars promote Baba Baba from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Baba Baba 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

Francis Partey steps up from the Wa All Stars academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Francis Partey 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.

Market7 Sep 2026

A stepping stone, not a home, for Kelvin Dosseh

He is doing his job and he is not settling. Wa All Stars were supposed to be a step up in his own reckoning, and his own reckoning has been adjusted since he arrived.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Hensen Anponsa 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.
