History

Bofoakwa were first promoted to the top division in 1967. Despite finishing second-bottom in their first season, and bottom in their second season, they avoided relegation due to league restructuring, and in 1970 they managed a 6th-place finish. The 1972 season saw the club finish as runners-up to Asante Kotoko, and third place was achieved in 1974 and 1975, the club also winning the SWAG Cup in the latter season.

The club returned to the second tier after finishing bottom in 1979. They were promoted back to the top flight in 1982, but were relegated again in 1985.

The club reappeared in the top division in 1989–90, by which time the league had switched to winter. They were relegated again in 1990–91, promoted back in 1994–95, relegated in 1996–97, promoted in 1997–98. In 1999 they finished third from bottom, but avoided another relegation by winning a play-off. However, they were relegated again in 2006–07.

At the end of the 2022–23 season Bofoakwa were again promoted to the Ghana Premier League after beating Techiman Eleven Wonders in the Division One playoff final. [3]

In English football, a gulf has arisen between the finances of clubs from the Premier League and English Football League since the First Division clubs broke away to form the Premier League in 1992. Some have argued that this disparity is wider than in other European leagues where the top flight is combined with at least one division below in a league, such as Germany's Bundesliga, Italy's Serie A and Spain's La Liga. However, England has five tiers of single national divisions, compared to only two in Spain and Italy and three in Germany.
