Young Apostles FC: Wenchi's Football Club, Squad, Fixtures and Story

Young Apostles FC, from Wenchi, Ghana, earned promotion to the Ghana Premier League in June 2024. They won promotion by beating Techiman Heroes 4-3 on penalties after a 1-1 draw in the Division One Zone 1 playoff, then played their first Premier League season in 2024/25 and secured survival on the final day of 2025/26. For South African readers who use the word soccer, the league is the Ghanaian competition Young Apostles first entered in 2024/25.

Think of a small town shop that opens on the high street beside the big names, and then earns its place there. What follows covers the club's leadership in 2024, its documented matches at Wenchi, its early league meetings, its development ambition and ways to follow matches from Accra, Lagos, Nairobi, Johannesburg or Kampala. The live modules above provide the squad, fixtures, results and table; the sections below explain how to interpret those records.

Who Are Young Apostles FC, the Club From Wenchi?

Young Apostles FC earned promotion from Wenchi, Ghana, in June 2024. Club president Sammy Anim Addo described them that June as a community based club and said community support would help them survive in the top flight. Their ambition also reached beyond domestic football: in 2024, Anim Addo set out a target of developing five players capable of representing national teams and attracting opportunities in Europe.

How Did Young Apostles Reach the Ghana Premier League?

Young Apostles won promotion through the Division One Zone 1 playoff in June 2024, beating Techiman Heroes 4-3 on penalties after a 1-1 draw at Accra Sports Stadium, according to the Ghana Football Association. The University of Ghana's news site also recorded the penalty win in the playoff final, which gives the moment a place in the record beyond the sports pages. They were one of three Division One sides promoted for 2024/25, alongside Vision FC and Basake Holy Stars. So, a whole season of work came down to a shootout in the capital, which is about as Ghanaian a route to the top flight as you will find.

Where Do Young Apostles Play, and Who Runs the Club?

Young Apostles won their first Premier League match at Wenchi Sports Stadium in September 2024. Ghanaian reporting on their June 2024 promotion identified Peter Oppong Domfeh as founder and owner, and Sammy Anim Addo as club president. In June 2024, Anim Addo described Young Apostles as a community based club and said the power of the community would help them survive in the top flight. That June, the club presented its Premier League qualification trophy to Wenchi's paramount chief. Wenchi also hosted their 2-0 victory over FC Samartex on 24 May 2026, with Richmond Opoku scoring both goals.

What Are the Milestones of the Premier League Years?

The 2024/25 season was the first in Young Apostles' history in the Ghana Premier League, and the opening fixture was scheduled for 6 September 2024 against Nsoatreman FC. Joseph Asare Bediako, the club's first Premier League head coach, resigned early in that debut season, and the club pressed on. The breakthrough came on 29 September 2024, a 3-2 home win over Aduana at Wenchi Sports Stadium, with Rurf Abdul Rahman scoring in the 88th and 90th minutes. Those two late goals made the 2024 meeting with Aduana a milestone in the club's top flight history.

Survival in 2025/26 went to the final day, and Young Apostles delivered it with a 2-0 win over FC Samartex at Wenchi on 24 May 2026, Richmond Opoku scoring both goals. That result secured their top flight place at the end of their second Premier League season.

Why Do Young Apostles Call Themselves a Development Team?

In 2024, Sammy Anim Addo called Young Apostles fundamentally a development team and set a target of producing five players who could represent national teams and become marketable in Europe. That is a measurable ambition, which I like, because it gives supporters something to check beyond the scoreline. For readers following African player development from Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, Ghana and Uganda, that stated ambition connects the club's domestic football with national team opportunities and potential moves to Europe.

In June 2024, Young Apostles presented their Premier League qualification trophy to the paramount chief of Wenchi, a gesture that tied the promotion to the town and its traditional leadership. Anim Addo also said in June 2024 that the power of the community would help the club survive in the top flight.

Which Early League Meetings Mark Young Apostles' Story?

The meeting with Aduana on 29 September 2024 brought Young Apostles their first Premier League victory, a 3-2 result at Wenchi Sports Stadium. Rurf Abdul Rahman's goals in the 88th and 90th minutes gave that fixture a lasting place in the club's history.

Nsoatreman were the opponents named for Young Apostles' scheduled opening Premier League fixture on 6 September 2024. That scheduled fixture and the September 2024 Aduana result help trace the club's introduction to the competition.
