Defending champions Bibiani Gold Stars FC have a golden opportunity to close the gap on leaders Medeama SC when they host Accra Hearts of Oak at Dun's Park tomorrow, as the Ghana Premier League title race heats up.

Gold Stars sit just three points behind the leaders and will be eager to return to the top as they attempt to retain the title they won last term.

No club have successfully defended the league crown in recent years, and the Bibiani-based side will view this season as a prime chance to break that jinx.

IN three weeks, the  2026 Women’s African Cup of Nations (WAFCON) will kick off as 16 teams slug it out not just for the prestigious title, but also for Africa’s four slots for the 2027 Women’s World Cup.

Chelsea will play holders Paris St-Germain in the Champions League last 16 while Manchester City will face Real Madrid in the knockout stages for a fifth straight season.

In partnership with the Christian missionary organisation, West Africa Mission, Coach Lim has planted the seeds of what could become one of the most structured and visionary football projects in the country,  complete with a long-term plan to establish Hoolala FC and propel it from the third tier of Ghana’s football pyramid to the Premier League.
