He added that, “after winning such games, we noticed the team was becoming stronger after every corporate game, to the extent that it was about bigger than a mere corperate team so Management decided to go professional with the club”

“The founder, an avid footballer lover then acquired division one side, Nana Adu Gyamfi FC and through the assistance of the Ashanti Regional Ghana Football Association, changed the name to Honeymoon Stars FC and since then the team has not looked back”. Mr. Akutsah pointed out.

The club then adopted an effective recruitment regimen under the coaching tutelage of former Asante Kotoko Head Coach and 1978 African Footballer of the Year, Golden Boy Abdul Razak.

Honeymoon Stars FC, since its inception seven months ago has played about 24 friendly matches including playing clubs like, Kumasi Asante Kotoko SC, Ashanti gold SC, New Edubiase United, Asokwa Deportivo and Asokwa Warriors amongst others.

Players are motivated by receiving winning bonuses, salaries, best players after every training session is given cash incentive, whiles registered players are given employment by Latex Foam Rubber Products Limited.
