The most admitted story tells that the game was developed in England in the 12th century. In this century, games that resembled football were played on meadows and roads in England. Besides from kicks, the game involved also punches of the ball with the fist. This early form of football was also much more rough and violent than the modern way of playing. Football has therefore extended it wings to other parts of the world and got to the people of Wa, the capital town of Upper West Region of Ghana.
Alhassan Nupaya, a young talented footballer, who started his footballing journey at Wa Yassin Football Club, a third tier football club based in the Upper West Region. He was born on May 5, 2001 into the Nupaya family in Wa. Having the passion and zeal to play the game, in 2009, when he was eight (8) years old, joined the Wa based club.
Alhassan Nupaya was so much into the game right from the start, and was promoted into the senior team when he was only sixteen (16). He played a very vital role as a Center Back in the team in the Regional Division Two League and has won more MOTM Awards than any other player in the team.
Upon his wonderful performance in the Regional Division Two, he was fortunate to be taken out of the country for trials in clubs such as Sheffield United (U18, U19 and U23) in England and Al-Hillal in Dubai. He also played in the Kosovo League for FC Fariza.
He returned to Ghana and was playing for Shooting Stars. A third tier football club based in Achimota, Accra.
Nupaya Alhassan was with FC Pinzgau Saalfeldeen in the Austrian Regionalliga Salzburg, a third tier league in the Austrian Football for just a season.
He is currently with Ghana’s second tier side, Akosombo Krystal Palace Academy. He plays very important role for the club ever since he joined prior to the start of the season.
Alhassan Nupaya is a very good center back. A rock at the defense, he is also known as the “Great Wall of China” when it comes to defense. He plays like Virgil Van Dijk of Liverpool and the Netherland National Team.
