About the club

Bechem United FC is a Ghana Premier League club from Bechem in the Ahafo Region, founded in 2005 by businessman Kingsley Owusu Achiaw. The club has never won the Ghana Premier League, with a best finish of runner-up in 2015–16 and 2017–18. Two Ghana FA Cup titles, in 2016 and 2022, rank as the high points of the club's honours list. Bechem are two-time CAF Confederation Cup entrants off the back of those FA Cup wins. The club plays at Nana Fosu Gyeabour Park in Bechem, a 5,000-capacity ground named after the local traditional authority. Bechem United have built a reputation in Ghanaian football as a consistent top-six side and a difficult opponent at home.

Founded by Kingsley Owusu Achiaw, a Ghanaian businessman who set up the club as a community side in the Brong-Ahafo belt before it entered the GPL.
