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.

Four tricycle operators, popularly known as ‘Pragya’, have been prosecuted and fined GH¢600 each equivalent to 50 penalty units by the Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) Sanitation Court for obstructing public roads at the Agbogbloshie Market.
The offenders, who were arrested by Public Health Officers of the AMA during a routine enforcement exercise, pleaded guilty to the offence and were subsequently convicted by the court.
The four operators were among the 21 offenders recently arrested at the Agbogbloshie Market for various sanitation and public order violations, including selling on open drains, obstructing walkways, and trading at unauthorised locations.
Speaking after the court proceedings, the Head of Public Health at the AMA, Madam Florence Kuukyi, said the court was lenient with the offenders since it was their first appearance, hence the fine, and warned that subsequent offenders would face stiffer penalties, including imprisonment.
The Ghana Police Service has arrested a man believed to be behind a series of robberies and killings of taxi drivers in the Greater Accra Region.
According to a statement from the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), the suspect, Peter Akakpo, also known as “Dompe,” was arrested on October 13, 2025, at Kasoa-Domeabra.
Police say he is an ex-convict and is believed to have worked with another suspect, Vincent Gbetorglo, who was arrested earlier on June 30, 2025.
The arrests follow investigations into the deaths of two taxi drivers at Sakaman Blue Lagoon on May 9 and June 15, 2025. Police say the suspects contacted the victims before the attacks.
The Anti-Armed Robbery Unit of the CID led the investigation, using intelligence and surveillance to track down the suspects.
Police say efforts are being made to recover the vehicles of the murdered drivers.
The CID assured the public that investigations are still ongoing and promised to provide updates as new information emerges.
