3. Wa United Football Club
Nicknamed “The Zebras” have fought their hearts out in order to participate in their third straight middle league since the establishment of the institution.
As Zone A champions, have not shown much in the group phase of the Upper West Regional Division II League and maybe regarded as the underdogs in the upcoming middle league.

The Zebras in their second season, had had 29 points, scored 29 goals, and conceded 13 goals. They were the side that scored more goals. These stats changed after some protest cases were written.
The Zebras have won 6 matches before winning protest cases against Wa FC and Ziko Babies FC. These cases enabled to raise their number of matches won to eight and helped them top the zone ahead of Wa FC.
4. Wa Football Club
Wa Football Club is a team with experienced players who have played in the middle league before and are eager to qualify the Dondoli based team into a second tier team.
Wa FC have only lost once during the group phase of the league against Tumu Liverpool FC at the Sombo Pepsi Park which they saw as their rivals, and were leading the zone until last minute of the round.
After 14 matches of the Upper West Division II League, Wa FC have won 8 matches, drawn 2, and lost 4, accumulating 26 points and qualifying as runner-up of the zone behind Wa United FC.
Wa FC from last season won 7, drawn 4 and lost 3 games. And they could not qualify for the middle league, after accumulating 25 points.
They have 29 goals, the second most in the group phase behind Wa Power Sporting Club, and conceding 16 goals. They are the team among the six middle league teams to have conceded most goal.
5. Hilla Stars
Hilla Stars last season did not participate in the league but came back in a style that made them on the various airwaves across the region and beyond.
The Gboluu based club went unbeaten in the first round of the league and conceding just a goal, which saw them as one of the two teams that achieve this in the league.
The second round saw them lost two games and their unbeaten streak got spoiled. After 12 matches in the Upper West Regional Division II League in Zone C, Hilla Stars won 8, drawn 2, and lost 2. They have had 26 points after scoring 11 goals and conceding 6.
Their defense became porous in the second round of the league which saw them lost two games.
They are a team that will cause a lot of havoc in the upcoming middle league.
6. Kowie Eva Stars
Eva Stars just like their brothers from the Tumu zone did not take part in last season’s Division II League, but have in this season stronger.
They were not seen as a team that can go pass the group phase at the beginning of the league but have turned things round at the latter part of the season.
Eva Stars have played 12 matches in the league and won 6 of those games, drawing 4, and losing 2. They have amassed 22 points. Eva Stars have scored 16 goals, and conceded 9 goals.
