The clubs are spread across the country’s 10 football regions, providing young players with opportunities to develop and compete at community level.
The Ashanti Region has the highest number with 245 clubs, followed by Greater Accra with 216. Brong Ahafo and Northern each have 98, while Central has 90 and Western has 50.
