After deliberation with the club’s management, Wa All Stars will now be known as Legon Cities Football Club per the approval from the GFA.
The change in name has taken effect at a time when the club has in recent times undergone some transition after its sale to the new owners.


Portions of an official statement released by the GFA acknowledging the decision by the club read:


“We acknowledge receipt of a letter from Wa All Stars Football Club dated 23rd December, 2019 requesting for approval for change of your club’s name from Wa All Stars Football Club to Legon Cities Football Club.
