Hot!
Can Oly’s wonder stop Aduana too in Dormaa?
The much-awaited fiery game between arch-rivals Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko in the Ghana Premier League (GPL) match-day 7 clash has been called off.
This is due to Hearts’ participation in the CAF Confederations Cup. The Phobians have been stuck in Algiers since Sunday (due to flight arrangements) after their disappointing campaign where they bowed out to JS Saoura on a 4-2 aggregate. Hearts were expected to arrive yesterday to restart their campaign in the domestic topflight.
However, action in the GPL continues at the Nana Agyeman Badu I Park in Dormaa tomorrow where imposing Aduana Stars take on ‘Wonder Club’ Great Olympics, in a dicey clash. The ‘Ogya’ boys will be eager to clinch their third consecutive victory with the visitors hoping to back back from their disappointing stalemate with Bechem United on match day 6. Doubtless, it is going to be a difficult task for Oly as Aduana would fight hard to avert another home frustration in front of their pet crowd – King Faisal having beaten them 2-0 early in the season.
On Sunday, Bibiani Gold Stars will welcome Bechem United to the Dun’s Park as they are willing to return to winning ways after a 2-1 away defeat to Dreams on match day 6.
The action continues tomorrow at the Crosby Awuah Memorial Park in Aiyinase where Karela United do battle with Accra Lions.
The visitors will be keen to record another triumph following their impressive victory against Eleven Wonders last weekend.
At the Accra Sports Stadium tomorrow, Legon Cities will lock horns with Berekum Chelsea. The away team will be aiming to snatch their second win after picking up three defeats, a draw and a win in their last five outings.
Playing in front of their faithful home crowd at the Aliu Mahama Stadium in Tamale, sixth-placed Real Tamale United (RTU) will face a spirited Medeama SC in another cagey affair. Medeama have won just one in their last five games and could use this test to grab their second.
All eyes will be embossed on high-flying King Faisal’s Zubeiru Ibrahim when Alhaji Karim Grusah’s boys lock horns with Elmina Sharks at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium on Sunday, hoping to strike gold again. At the same venue last Sunday, Ibrahim tore apart Kotoko’s backline as he bagged a famous hat-trick in Faisal’s 3-2 away win.
Ashantigold SC will make a long trip to Sogakope to face West African Soccer Academy (WAFA) at the Red Bull Arena – a game WAFA will push for victory, having recorded only a solitary win at home in six games.

The Diaspora Affairs Office at the Office of the President has hosted a delegation of African diaspora women who are in Ghana ahead of a planned Presidential Conferment of Citizenship ceremony.
The Director of Diaspora Affairs, Kofi Okyere Darko, explained in a Facebook post that the visit was a gesture of appreciation by the delegation to the Government of Ghana for its continued efforts to reconnect Africans in the diaspora with their ancestral homeland.
He indicated that the ceremony, scheduled for next Monday, will officially grant Ghanaian citizenship to members of the delegation as part of the country’s broader engagement with the African diaspora.
The delegation was led by Erica Bennett, Founder of the Diaspora Africa Forum.
According to Mr Okyere Darko, her years of advocacy have played an important role in strengthening ties between Africa and people of African descent living abroad.
He noted that the group’s journey towards citizenship represents not only a legal process but also a cultural and spiritual return to their roots.
Also present at the meeting was Natalie Jackson, an attorney who is also expected to receive Ghanaian citizenship during the ceremony. She works closely with renowned civil rights lawyer Ben Crump.
Mr Okyere Darko emphasised that Ghana remains committed to strengthening relationships with the African diaspora and promoting unity, identity, and shared heritage among people of African descent worldwide.

Ghana Tourism Authority is leading Ghana’s participation at ITB Berlin, which opened in Berlin with a vibrant national pavilion highlighting Ghana’s rich cultural heritage, tourism destinations and investment opportunities.
March 5 has been designated as Ghana Day, a special platform to promote Ghana’s languages, cuisine, Kente, festivals and business prospects to the global tourism community. The stand has already drawn strong interest with traditional arts and crafts displays, immersive multimedia presentations and popular Ghanaian snacks.
Seven private-sector players are exhibiting alongside government officials as part of efforts to deepen trade partnerships, expand market access, and attract investment across the hospitality, heritage tourism, ecotourism, and creative arts sectors.
Ahead of the official opening, the Ghana delegation also engaged young Ghanaian investors in Germany in collaboration with V Afrika-Verein and the Ghana Embassy, strengthening diaspora investment linkages and highlighting opportunities within the tourism value chain.
Ghana’s coordinated presence at ITB Berlin 2026 reinforces its strategy to position the country as the Gateway to Africa and a competitive destination for leisure travel and global investment.
