Debibi United Earn Historic Promotion to Ghana Premier League After Playoff Triumph
Debibi United will compete in the Ghana Premier League for the first time in the club’s history after securing an impressive comeback victory over Tamale City FC in the Access Bank Division One League playoff.
The decisive encounter, played on Wednesday afternoon, carried huge stakes as both clubs battled for the final promotion slot into Ghana’s top-flight competition for the 2026/27 season.
Tamale City started brightly and took an early lead, putting themselves in a strong position during the opening stages of the contest.
Debibi United, however, responded with determination and gradually seized control of the game with an attacking display that completely changed the momentum of the playoff.
Forward Kwadwo Antwi proved to be the difference-maker for Debibi United, delivering a remarkable individual performance by scoring all three goals for his side.
His hat-trick inspired a stunning turnaround as Debibi United recovered from behind to record a 3-1 victory at full time.
The result officially seals the club’s promotion to the Ghana Premier League and marks a landmark moment in Debibi United’s history after years of competing outside the top division.
Following a successful campaign capped by a dramatic playoff win, the newly promoted side will now begin preparations for their debut season among Ghana’s elite clubs.
