AccraWOPs
The Accra Week of PROs – A Movement Born in Ghana, Built for the World
AccraWOPs is more than a sports event, it’s a movement to professionalise African football and activate the entire football ecosystem. Ghana is full of “rough diamonds” in football, but many lack the structure and exposure to refine their talent. We change that.
Our Mission
- Advocate internationally competitive playing skills
- Unlock the creative and economic potential of sports
- Create value for the Ghanaian economy
- Enable youth engagement in all areas of football
- Foster regional synergy across West Africa
The Football Value Chain
- Playing Football (players, referees, line judges)
- Teaching Football (coaches, mentors)
- Developing Football (sports scientists, performance analysts)
- Managing Football (scouts, team managers)
- Enabling Football (investors, gear suppliers, service providers)
What’s Next?
We’re taking AccraWOPs on the road, across Ghana and beyond. We’re diversifying into new sports like athletics and including individual as well as team participants. Whether you’re a young athlete, trainer, content creator or supporter, there’s a place for you here.
Join the movement. Shape the future of sports.
