Hearts of Oak Set for Accra Sports Stadium Return in Crucial Clash Against Nations FC
Hearts of Oak will finally return to the Accra Sports Stadium on Wednesday, April 2, 2025, for their rescheduled Ghana Premier League fixture against Nations FC, the Ghana Football Association (GFA) confirmed on Monday.
The stadium was recently used for Ghana’s 5-0 victory over Chad in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, though certain sections of the stands remained restricted. I
t is unclear what discussions took place behind the scenes that led to the GFA’s decision to reinstate Hearts of Oak’s home matches at the venue.
The Phobians have been unable to play at their traditional home since September 2024, when the stadium was closed for urgent upgrades to meet international standards
. During this period, they relocated to the University of Ghana Stadium for their home fixtures.
Their last match at the Accra Sports Stadium ended in disappointment—a 1-0 defeat to newly promoted Basake Holy Stars on the opening day of the season.
Now sitting fourth in the league table with 37 points from 23 games, Coach Abubakar Ouattara’s side trails leaders Asante Kotoko by five points. Their return to familiar territory presents an opportunity to regain momentum in their title challenge.
