In the jubilant aftermath of Bibiani GoldStars’ first-ever Ghana Premier League (GPL) title, centre-back Vincent Atingah delivered a bold declaration that’s sure to stir debate and admiration in equal measure:
“If you want to win the Ghana Premier League, sign me.”
The quote, shared in a 3Sports interview, captures the confidence of a player who has now lifted the GPL trophy twice; once with Hearts of Oak in 2020/21, and now with GoldStars in 2024/25. But it also reflects the defensive stalwart’s growing legend as a proven winner in Ghanaian football.
Atingah the Difference-Maker
Vincent Atingah’s impact on Bibiani GoldStars’ title-winning campaign was immense. Commanding at the back and vocal in leadership, Atingah anchored a resilient defense that kept the team steady throughout the season’s toughest moments. His physical presence, aerial dominance, and game intelligence were crucial assets for coach Frimpong Manso, who took over the team in December 2023.
Atingah’s reputation was already strong following standout seasons at Medeama SC, where he remarkably scored nine goals as a defender in the 2022/23 campaign. But this latest triumph further strengthens his case as one of the most influential players in recent GPL history.
What’s Next for Atingah?
Now a two-time champion and a leader on and off the pitch, Vincent Atingah’s stock is rising fast. Whether he stays to help Bibiani challenge on the African stage or attracts interest from bigger clubs remains to be seen. But one thing is certain; wherever he goes, expectations will follow.
With swagger, experience, and an unmatched winning record, Atingah’s bold headline quote is more than a soundbite; it’s a challenge to the rest of the league. And for now, he has every right to say it.
