Hohoe United host Young Apostles in maiden GPL action in Hohoe
The 10,000-capacity Hohoe Sports Stadium will come alive with Ghana Premier League action for the very first time in its history when newly promoted side, Hohoe United, host Young Apostles today.
Having secured a point from their first game in the League against Hearts of Oak on match day one, an expectant home crowd will welcome the gallant side to their backyard as they look to pick their first three points in the league.
Ahead of the match, Coach Tijani Abdul Rahim Bashiru, a former coach of Young Apostles, has stated that victory at home was high on the cards for his side.
“Having won our first point away against Hearts, picking up our first three points in front of our home fans will be something special, and we are working towards that.”
“We want them to come out in their numbers as they always do; fill every space in the stands, and create the atmosphere for the victory.”
The Head Coach of Young Apostles, Abu Abdul Hanan, said the 2-0 home loss to Medeama SC was behind and were ready to jostle for the points like their opponents did in Accra.
Also at the Nii Adjei Kraku II Sports Complex today, returnees Eleven Wonders will test their strength against Heart of Lions.
A grand homecoming is expected at the Swedru Stadium as Swedru All Blacks welcome Berekum Chelsea for their first Premier League game after 16 years.
Both sides suffered defeat in their opening-day games, and for the host, who nearly shocked Nations FC at their own backyard until a last-minute loss of concentration robbed them of a point, a home victory will be a perfect start to life in the league.
For Head Coach of Chelsea, Samuel Boadu, a second successive defeat after that to Asante Kotoko will be bad for his side.
At the Nana Agyernang Badu I Park in Dormaa, Aduana FC will welcome Nations FC at home.
In other games tomorrow, the Nsenkyire Sports Arena will host the Samartex FC versus Karela United clash, while the Nana Fosu Gyeabour Park host the action between Bechem United FC and Basake Holy Stars FC.
The Nii Adjei Kraku II Sports Complex in Tema will host the Dreams FC versus Hearts of Oak game on Monday.
The game between Asante Kotoko and Bibiani Gold Stars scheduled for the Baba Yara Sports Stadium has been postponed due to their involvement in continental assignments this weekend.

Shoes are more than just items worn to protect the feet; they are essential fashion accessories that can transform an outfit, express personality and add a touch of elegance to one’s appearance.
From casual outings to formal occasions, the right pair of shoes can make a simple outfit look stylish, sophisticated and complete.
High heels remain a favourite among women who want to add elegance and sophistication to their appearance.
Available in different designs, including stilettos, block heels and kitten heels, they can be worn to weddings, parties, formal gatherings and other special occasions.
While stilettos create a sleek and glamorous look, block heels offer greater stability for those who prefer a more comfortable option.
Flats are ideal for people who value comfort without compromising on style. Ballet flats, pointed-toe flats and loafers can be paired with dresses, skirts, trousers and jeans. They are suitable for office wear, shopping trips, church services and other everyday activities.
Sneakers have become a major feature of contemporary fashion. Once associated mainly with sports and exercise, they are now worn as everyday fashion statements.
White sneakers, in particular, pair beautifully with jeans, casual dresses, shorts and even tailored trousers. Sandals are popular for their lightness and versatility, especially in warm weather. They come in flat, heeled, strappy and platform designs, making them suitable for casual outings, holidays and social gatherings.
Loafers offer a blend of sophistication and comfort.
Wedges and platform shoes are suitable for those who want extra height while exploring alternatives to traditional high heels.
Despite the variety of shoes available, fashion enthusiasts should consider comfort, fit, quality and the occasion before making a choice. Shoes that are too tight or poorly fitted can cause discomfort, regardless of how attractive they look.
Asante Kotoko SC has announced with deep sadness the passing of its former Brands and Marketing Manager, Kweku Hammond.
In a statement released by the club, Kotoko described Hammond’s death as untimely and expressed heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, and loved ones.
“Although his time with the club was brief, Kweku served with dedication, diligence, and unwavering commitment to Asante Kotoko,” the club stated. “His contributions and loyalty to the club will not be forgotten.”
Kweku Hammond served in the club’s Brands and Marketing department, where he played a role in promoting the Porcupine Warriors’ brand and engaging supporters.
The club assured that it will continue to honour his memory and legacy.
“May his soul rest in perfect peace,” the statement concluded.
Fans and members of the football fraternity have since joined the club in mourning, sharing tributes to Hammond for his professionalism and commitment during his time at club.
