Volta Rangers Football Club Officially Launched in Ho.

Ho, Volta Region. Tilda Acorlor. 

Volta Rangers FC, a second division club in the Volta region has been launched in Ho, the Volta regional capital.

 The launch which was held at the Stevens Hotel was graced by dignitaries, stakeholders and former football players from the region.

The club was formerly managed by a white missionary from the US who was based in Adaklu Kodjobi and was known as Kodjobi Golden Warriors when it was in the Ho Municipal Division 3 League.

The club then gained promotion into the Regional Division 2 League in the 2015/16 season, this time around it would be managed by Mr. Jonathan Ahiaekpor together with Edem Kofi Ansah.

"We want to be a successful club from Volta region, our vision is to bring topflight football back to the region" Jonathan Ahiaekpor said. 

”We will not just be participants in the upcoming division two league but to make a mark and qualify to next level in the shortest time” He added.
