Football fans in the Upper West Region have reason to celebrate! The Wa Malik Jabir Sports Stadium, once the home ground to the beloved Wa All Stars, is poised for a topflight football resurgence in the upcoming 2024/25 domestic season.
Exclusive sources reveal that business moguls in the region are nearing an agreement with an unnamed premier league club to utilize the Wa Park as their home ground. Whispers suggest Karela United FC might be making the move, but regardless of the team’s identity, this marks a significant development.
Preparations extend beyond a single club. Plans are underway to secure another team, solidifying the region’s commitment to football investment. With Wa Suntaa, Wa Power SC, and Maana SC already calling the Wa Park home, the 2024/25 season promises a packed schedule.
Should all three local teams retain their Division One status, the stadium could witness a total of five teams competing. This scenario would transform the Malik Jabir Sports Stadium into a vibrant hub for regional football.
The return of topflight football to the Upper West Region signifies a positive shift. Local fans will be treated to high-caliber competition, while the influx of teams could spark increased investment in the sport, fostering its growth within the region.
