Legon Cities have been relegated to the Division One League after a 4-1 defeat to Nations FC on Monday at the University of Ghana Stadium in Legon.
Kelvin Ampoful scored twice, while Emmanuel Annor and Sadiq Alhassan also found the net to secure a comprehensive win for Nations FC, who have now taken the top spot in the league with three matches remaining.
Legon Cities’ relegation was confirmed mathematically, finishing the season with just 25 points from 31 games. The club endured a difficult campaign, unable to keep pace with the title contenders.
Previously known as WA All Stars, Legon Cities were Ghana Premier League champions in 2016. The club was established in January 2006, backed by former Ghana FA President and former CAF First Vice President Kwesi Nyantakyi in Wa.
In December 2019, the club was sold and rebranded as Legon Cities FC. Despite a promising start with high-profile signings such as Asamoah Gyan, the club’s fortunes declined, culminating in relegation this season.
