The official fixture list from the Ghana Football Association lists this game for Sunday, April 19, 2026, at 15:00, with Basake Holy Stars hosting Aduana FC at the Swedru Stadium.

That is the frame for this match: Aduana are trying to stay relevant near the front, Basake are trying to turn a good home sequence into something heavier.
