Wenchi Sporting Club formerly known as Unity Sporting Club is a Ghanaian football club based in Wenchi, Brong-Ahafo. They are competing in the Brong Ahafo Division Two Zone 9. In July 2013 the club executives voted to change the name to Wenchi Sporting Club, a move which was aimed at getting the people to Wenchi to have a sense of belonging to the club.
The club was founded in 2007 by the club's president Mr. Ernest Anokye-Gyan with support from Unity Community & Sport Association and Unity Football Club, of Reading in Berkshire, England to promote safe ground for young athletes to develop their football skills. The club also operates a sports academy which currently has 150 youngsters between the ages of 10 – 21 years, focusing on the education and development of young athletes.
Unity Sporting Club uses football as a tool to engage a large pool of street children on a regular basis who traditionally have little access to sporting activities. The academy then aims to develop children's ability to be coached, both on and off the football pitch, with the aim of empowering them through a programme of non-formal education which is complemented by a fun and goal oriented rewards.
The club registered to compete in the Ghana Division Two League to provide playing opportunities for its existing players and experience for younger players from Unity Academy. It competed in the Division Two League, the third tier of Ghanaian football, during the 2010–11 season. This also provided academy players with a potential route into senior football through Unity Sporting Club (USC).
