If you said at the start of the season that Nations FC would be sitting top of the Ghana Premier League table with three games to go, most fans would’ve laughed it off as pure fantasy. But here we are — and nobody’s laughing now.
The Abrankese-based club is one point clear at the top, with four wins in their last five matches, and suddenly, what once seemed impossible is starting to look inevitable. The title is in sight.
So how did we get here?
From the jump, Nations FC weren’t seen as serious contenders. Not with giants like Hearts of Oak, Kotoko, or last season’s champions Samartex in the mix. But they’ve built something real — quietly, consistently, and with purpose. No wild spending, no media circus — just football done right.
And now, with the finish line in view, Kennedy Boakye Ansah, the club’s Brands and Communications Manager, isn’t hiding the ambition anymore.
“It’s been a very beautiful ride and we are going all out for it,” he told KickoffGhana.com.
“From the work done so far, there is nothing that is going to stop the club from being crowned as champions.”
That’s not cocky. That’s conviction — the kind you earn when you’ve put in the work all season long and now have the results to back it up.
What makes this story even better? They’re not limping to the finish line — they’re charging. This is a team in top form at the right time. And with a huge home game against defending champions FC Samartex up next, they’ve got a chance to prove that they’re not just enjoying a lucky run — they’re built to win.
From longshots to legitimate title favorites, Nations FC are living proof that the Ghana Premier League still has space for new narratives — and fairytales that come true.
