Three Division Two clubs based in Senya Bereku in the Central Region are facing possible withdrawal from the 2025/2026 Regional Football Association League Season, which is scheduled to commence before 3-5th November 2025.

The affected clubs — Spirrow FC, Wonders FC, and Cheetah FC — are reportedly struggling to raise funds to cover essential expenses such as affiliation fees, officiating costs, transportation, and player allowances.

Sources close to the teams reveal that the financial strain has left them uncertain about their participation in the upcoming campaign. Club owners say the lack of external financial support has made it extremely difficult to sustain operations, posing a major threat to the growth of football in the area.

One club owner described the situation as dire, saying:

“Running a football club here is becoming impossible. There’s no financial support from anywhere, and everything is left on the shoulders of club owners. If things continue this way, many teams will collapse.”

Local sports observers have emphasised that supporting these clubs to remain active in the Division Two League brings significant benefits to the Senya Bereku community. The clubs help to nurture young football talent, create jobs, and promote social unity through sporting activities. Their participation also stimulates local businesses, especially transport operators, food vendors, and traders, who benefit economically during matchdays.

Moreover, a vibrant football scene inspires the youth, helping to reduce social vices and giving many young people a sense of purpose and discipline through sport.

The looming withdrawal of the three clubs has therefore raised deep concern among residents and football enthusiasts, who fear it could hamper grassroots development and derail efforts to make Senya Bereku a strong hub for football in the Central Region.
