Tragedy strikes as the Ghanaian football fraternity reels in shock of the the death of Ghana Premier League club WAFA SC owner Henri Wientjes. The death of the Dutch-born GPL club owner has ignited profound sadness and sorrow among the Ghana Football Association (GFA) authorities.

The Dutch owner of the GPL side WAFA has been a long time financial backer of Ghana football. Hence his death has hit the Ghanaian football authorities very hard. The Dutch agricultural entrepreneur in West Africa passed away last week but the Sogakope-based club only announced his passing on Tuesday morning.

The incident occurred on Tuesday, 6 January 2021 in his home country of Holland and the Ghana FA has also been mourning the businessman who spent most of his life supporting football in Ghana. WithWith over 47 years of working experience in Ghana, Wientjes has been hugely instrumental in the rise of WAFA into one of the most respected clubs in Ghana.


A club statement read in part as:”It is with regret that we announce the death WAFA Academy SC owner Mr. Henry Wientjes.''

He was also the Founder and Executive Chairman of African Tiger Holding and its subsidiaries.

Details for a memorial service will be announced later but sympathizers can sign a book of condolence at the Accra office of ATHL every weekday from 8.00 am to 5.00 pm.

Apart from his support for WAFA, Wientjes ensured that his company Wienco sponsored Tamale-based RTU for over ten years with heavy financial backing, a club where the legendary Abedi Pele Ayew kick started his football career in Ghana before moving to abroad. Apart from his support for WAFA, Wientjes ensured that his company Wienco sponsored Tamale-based RTU for over ten years with heavy financial backing, a club where the legendary Abedi Pele Ayew kick started his football career in Ghana before moving to abroad.
