WAFA officially announce decision to withdrawal from Division One League

West African Football Academy Sporting Club (WAFA SC) has formally announced its decision to withdraw from the Division One League, as stated in an official communication released by the Ghana Football Association (GFA).

Over the last two years, the club has encountered significant challenges, particularly after their relegation from the Ghana Premier League during the 2021/22 season, having secured a third-place position in the season prior.

In the provided statement, WAFA SC communicated its withdrawal intention to the GFA, outlining multiple reasons for this step.

A key focal point among these reasons is the club’s desire to redirect its energies towards nurturing and cultivating young football talents through its robust academy system.

The statement said, “West African Football Academy Sporting Club (WAFA SC) has officially sent a written notification to the Ghana Football Association (GFA) to inform the Association of the club’s decision to withdraw from the Access Bank Division One League.

“The club, among other reasons, explained the current change of policy direction to fully focus on developing young football talents through the academy system in the Volta Region of Ghana.

“The Executive Council of GFA in the coming days will exercise its power under Article 78 of the GFA Statutes to find a replacement for WAFA in the Access Bank Division One League, Zone 2, in light of the established precedents.

“All stakeholders and clubs in the Division One League Zone 2 are to take note of the withdrawal of WAFA SC.

“The club officially communicated the decision to the Ghana Football Association (GFA) through a written notification.”

Over the years, WAFA has churned out numerous players plying their trade at some of the top football clubs in Africa and Europe.

Notable amongst these players are Harrison Afful, Christian Atsu (deceased), Majeed Ashimeru, Lassana Coulibaly, Mohammed Abubakari, Samuel Tetteh, and many others.
