🔵 A New Era Taking Shape at Mahala FA

This triumph underlines the impressive structural transformation happening at Mahala Football Academy ahead of the 2026/27 Division Two season[cite: 1].

👔 Elite Coaching Team

The technical bench is spearheaded by legendary former Accra Hearts of Oak star
Bernard Dong Bortey as Head Coach. He is closely supported by
Francis Osei Tutu (Assistant Coach) and Richmond Minkah (3rd Coach), forming a formidable tactical leadership group.

💎 A Deep & Strengthened Squad

Mahala has integrated roughly 18 high-potential new players who bring tremendous depth and internal competition.

Defensive Wall: The team’s backbone sits firmly in central defense, featuring elite stoppers like Jovanni Ayinemi (Asaa) and Justice Sika Freh.

Experience & Utility: Veteran presence from players like Desmond Sadat and Richard Owusu Ansah proved vital. Meanwhile, Evans Ofori displayed exceptional tactical flexibility—dominating as a holding pivot (No. 6) and right-back, while remaining fully capable of sliding back into the centre-back role he patrolled all last season.
