The 2025/26 Mart ‘D’ Electricals Volta Football Association Division Two Regional Middle League concluded in grand style as football, culture, and community spirit blended seamlessly in a closing ceremony marked by excitement.
From kickoff to the final whistle, the atmosphere at the stadium was electric.
However, it was the post-match festivities that truly brought the occasion to life.
Before the finalists assembled for the closing ceremony, the stadium entrance was transformed into a vibrant cultural stage as performers from the Heritage Dance Ensemble entertained spectators with a dazzling display of traditional dance, music, and colour.
Their energetic performance had fans on their feet, turning a football final into a memorable regional cultural celebration.
Speaking during the ceremony, Volta FA Chairman Daniel Agbogah expressed his appreciation to all football stakeholders for their support and commitment throughout the season.
He commended every club, official, and participant involved in the competition, from the preliminary stages to the Middle League Finals, noting that the league continues to serve as a platform for youth development, social impact, cultural expression, and community pride.
Mr. Agbogah also appealed to the relevant authorities to prioritise the improvement of sporting infrastructure across the Volta Region to support the growth and development of football.
An important moment of the ceremony was the ceremonial presentation of the league trophy by Mama Bobi III, Afetornyonufia of Bankoe, whose presence brought dignity and cultural significance to the occasion.
The trophy had toured the Volta and Oti Regions since May 18, 2026, generating excitement and anticipation ahead of the final.
Following the trophy presentation, a ceremonial handshake was led by the Volta FA Chairman who was joined by the Volta Regional Minister, James Gunu, Mama Bobi III, Volta FA Patron Justus Joe Ayivor, Torgbui Tenuvi III, and members of the Executive Council.
The dignitaries greeted players from both finalist clubs before kickoff, symbolising sportsmanship and unity.
At halftime, the Regional FA honoured Mr. Dickson Akortia, Mr. Francis Aba, Madam Innocentia Agbavitor, and Hon. James Gunu in recognition of their contributions to the development of football in the Volta Region.
The tournament’s outstanding performers were also recognised after the final:

• Top Scorer: Junior Ayitey (Nukunu FC) – 3 goals
• Player of the Tournament: Perfect Esetor (Yadzo Oti Warriors)
As the champions lifted the trophy, scenes of joy and celebration filled the stadium.
Players, officials, and supporters came together in a moment that perfectly reflected the essence of the competition, fierce rivalry on the pitch, but unity, friendship, and cultural pride beyond it.
With the trophy presented, awards distributed, cultural performances concluded, and the celebrations winding down, the 2025/26 Mart ‘D’ Electricals Volta Division Two League Final ended not merely as a football match, but as a powerful celebration of sport, culture, unity, and identity.
