THE HISTORY
Okwawu United is an outgrowth of a then fourth division side called Young Africans. Young Africans, founded in 1973 by a group of football enth
usiasts, qualified for the Eastern Regional third division in 1974 and for the second division in 1975. Faced with serious financial constraints, some officials of Young Africans notably Alhaji Yahya (Chief Butcher),Chairman; T.A. Ampem Danquah approached Alhaji M. Osei, an Nkawkaw businessman for help. Alhaji Osei thereafter took over the club and with the approval of the then Eastern Reginal Sports Organiser H. Asiamah, Young Africans was re-named Kwahu United with the view to getting help and support of the indigenous citizens of the area. Thus, under a new name Kwahu United, the club participated in the 1976 regional second division league. Kwahu United (as then known) qualified for the national middle league in 1978. The resignation of eight key players at that crucial stage of the club 's growth denied the team the opportunity to qualify for the elite league. Nonetheless, the club now re-christened Okwawu United qualify out of the 1981 national middle league to play in the 1982 elite league. ACHIEVEMENTS
