Oaks F.C. to Hold Justify-Your-Inclusion Trials Ahead of Debut in Malta Guinness Women’s Premier League
Mercy Tagoe-Quarcoo, head coach of Oaks F.C., has confirmed that the newly promoted women’s team will organize a justify-your-inclusion exercise as part of efforts to scout and recruit new talent ahead of their maiden campaign in the prestigious Malta Guinness Women’s Premier League. This significant move aims to strengthen the team’s squad as they prepare to face elite competition in Ghana’s top-tier women’s football league.
Oaks F.C., the official women’s team of Ghana Premier League giants Accra Hearts of Oak, made headlines after earning promotion to the Women’s Premier League in grand style. The team’s qualification came on the back of a commanding 4-1 victory over Rootz Sistaz in the regional Playoff final of the Women’s Division One League, held on May 28, 2025.
Now gearing up for their biggest challenge yet, Oaks F.C. are taking strategic steps to ensure they compete at the highest level with a competitive and balanced squad.
Mercy Tagoe-Quarcoo Outlines Roadmap for Premier League Readiness
Speaking in an exclusive interview on Sporty FM, Coach Mercy Tagoe-Quarcoo detailed her vision for the club’s preparations and her intentions to inject fresh talent into the team.
“Joining Oaks FC in the Women’s Division One League wasn’t about proving anything to myself. It was more about letting those young players know that they are capable,” she explained. “Mentally, the players are still thinking like they’re in the Division One League, so I’ll have to push them to change their mindset.”
Tagoe-Quarcoo, a respected figure in Ghanaian women’s football and a former coach of the national women’s team, emphasized the importance of mental strength, humility, and adaptability in navigating the transition from Division One to the elite Women’s Premier League.
“We’re not blowing our horns. Humility is the hallmark,” she noted. “I’ve already told the players that the Women’s Premier League is not easy. We’re looking forward to augmenting our squad for the Women’s Premier League. We’ll hold a justifier to see if we can get some quality players to add to the team.”
Justifier to Unearth Hidden Talent
The justify-your-inclusion trials will serve as an open scouting opportunity for talented female footballers hoping to break into top-flight football. These trials are expected to attract hundreds of aspiring players looking to prove their abilities and secure a place on one of Ghana’s most promising women’s football teams.
Oaks F.C.’s commitment to building a competitive squad reflects their understanding of the high standards of the Malta Guinness Women’s Premier League, which features some of the best talent in the country. The trials will provide a platform for overlooked or underrepresented players to be noticed by a team with ambitious goals.
Fierce Competition Awaits in the Southern Zone
Oaks F.C. will be competing in the Southern Zone of the 2025/26 Malta Guinness Women’s Premier League. This zone is home to some of the most successful and formidable teams in Ghanaian women’s football, including:

Hasaacas Ladies – Record league title holders known for their experience and attacking prowess.
Jonina Ladies – 2025 FA Cup runners-up and a side brimming with youthful energy and skill.
These teams are well-established, and the competition will be intense. However, under the leadership of Mercy Tagoe-Quarcoo, Oaks F.C. are not just aiming to survive but to compete with confidence and earn respect in their debut season.
