Ghanaian defender Anasthesia Achiaa has completed a move to Turkish women’s football club Yuksekovaspor ahead of the 2026-27 season.
The centre-back joins the club as Yuksekovaspor continues to strengthen its squad before the start of the new campaign. Achiaa is expected to add defensive stability, physical strength and experience as the Turkish side prepares for the season ahead.
Her transfer represents another significant stage in a career that has increasingly taken her beyond Ghana. The move will give Achiaa the opportunity to continue developing her profile outside her home country while gaining further experience in international women’s football.
Yuksekovaspor will be hoping the Ghanaian defender can adapt quickly to her new surroundings and establish herself within the squad. The club expects her to play an important role as it seeks to meet its targets during the upcoming campaign.
Achiaa’s arrival also reflects the growing number of Ghanaian female footballers pursuing opportunities abroad. Increasing numbers of players from Ghana are making moves into competitive leagues in Europe and other parts of the world, contributing to the country’s expanding presence in the international women’s game.
For Yuksekovaspor, the signing provides additional defensive options ahead of a new season and strengthens a squad being assembled for the challenges of the 2026-27 campaign. Achiaa’s role as a centre-back is expected to bring greater solidity to the team’s defence, alongside the strength and experience the club believes she can offer.
The defender will now turn her attention to pre-season preparations with her new club. It will be the beginning of her journey with Yuksekovaspor, as she works to settle into the squad and make a strong impression in Turkish women’s football.
The move gives Achiaa a fresh platform to continue her career internationally, while Yuksekovaspor will look to benefit from her qualities throughout the season. Her immediate focus will be on preparing with the team and establishing herself ahead of the competitive campaign.
