West African Football Academy Sporting Club (WAFA SC) has formally communicated its decision to withdraw from the Access Bank Division One League to the Ghana Football Association (GFA).
The club’s decision is attributed, among other factors, to a strategic shift towards a concentrated emphasis on nurturing young football talents through the academy system in the Volta Region of Ghana.
In response to this development, the GFA’s Executive Council will invoke its authority in accordance with Article 78 of the GFA Statutes to identify a replacement for WAFA in the Access Bank Division One League, Zone 2, as established by past precedents.
All stakeholders and clubs within the Division One League Zone 2 are advised to take due cognizance of WAFA SC’s withdrawal.
Over the years, WAFA has churned out numerous players plying their trade in 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.
