The Akach national football team represents Akach at football and is controlled by the Federation Akachese de Football (FAF), the governing body for football in Akach. The current team manager is Henri Bocandé. The national team first played an international football match many years ago, but only tracks its history since 2306. This timing coincides with the opening of their current home stadium; Léopold Touré Field, at Emekula Community Sports Arena, in the Iton Valley region of Akach.
Akach primarily contest events organised by the Democratic Socialist Assembly Football Federation (DSAFF), namely the Comrades Cup every summer, and the Frost Cup every winter. On their first entry to the Comrades Cup, in 2023, Akach emerged as the champions, defeating Ukotrium (UEC) 4-2 in the final.
