Hafiz Konkoni, former forward for Bechem United and Young Africans, has expressed deep sadness over the relegation of two Upper West Region clubs, Wa Suntaa SC and Maana FC, from the Access Bank National Division One to the Upper West Regional Division Two.
This development marks a significant setback for the region's football community. Konkoni, known for his passion for the sport, lamented the demotion, stating "The relegation of Wa Suntaa SC and Maana FC is a sad day for Upper West football. These clubs have been pivotal in nurturing local talent and promoting the sport in our region."
The relegation comes as a blow to the fans and players who have invested time, effort, and resources into these clubs. It also raises concerns about the future of football in the Upper West Region, where opportunities for advancement are already limited.
Konkoni called for renewed support and strategic planning to help these clubs bounce back and regain their status.
"We need to come together as a community to support these teams. It's crucial for the development of football in Upper West and for the dreams of many young players."
As the region grapples with this setback, the call to action from figures like Konkoni underscores the importance of community support and investment in local sports.
The hope remains that Wa Suntaa SC and Maana FC will overcome this challenge and return stronger to Division One. He said the community-driven initiative is dedicated to empowering young people through education, skill-building, technology, and community engagement, aiming to foster sustainable development and positive change.
