Board Chairman of Accra Hearts of Oak, Togbe Afede (XIV), has said plans to introduce a women’s football team for the club is in the final stages.
The women’s team which will be named Oaks FC forms part of CAF and FIFA requirements that all clubs must have female teams.
Togbe Afede says the necessary steps have been completed to successfully launch their female team in the coming weeks.
“We have finished negotiations to acquire a football team in the Women’s division.” Togbe Afede said.
“This means that in a matter of weeks, we can announce a female side for Hearts of Oak, the Oaks FC.
“That is also a requirement of CAF,” he added.
The club currently operates as a men’s team and has a youth team, Auroras, where young talented players are promoted to the first team.
