A football club based in Sefwi Wiawso, the capital of the Western North Region of Ghana. The club participates in local and regional football competitions and serves as a community sporting institution.
Sefwi Wiawso Hearts of Oak is a community-based football club operating in Sefwi Wiawso, the administrative capital of Ghana's Western North Region. The club draws inspiration from the legendary Accra Hearts of Oak SC and serves as a grassroots sporting institution, providing football opportunities for local youth and competing in divisional and regional leagues. It represents an important social and recreational hub for the Sefwi community.
The club was established as part of the broader Hearts of Oak 'family' tradition, where communities across Ghana name local teams after the famous Phobians to honor their legacy and adopt their rainbow colors. Sefwi Wiawso, carved out as regional capital when Western North Region was created in 2019, has long supported grassroots football as part of the area's sporting culture. The club continues the Sefwi tradition of nurturing local talent in a region known for cocoa farming and timber.
Visitors can attend matches at community football grounds in Sefwi Wiawso, typically accessible via the town's main roads. Match schedules are usually announced through local radio stations and community notice boards. The town is reachable by road from Kumasi (approximately 3-4 hours) or from Takoradi via Asankrangwa, with public transport and taxis available locally.
The Western North Region, where the club is based, was carved out of the former Western Region in 2019, making it one of Ghana's newest administrative regions, yet the area's passion for grassroots football predates the regional split by decades.
