Ghana Premier League giants, Accra Hearts of Oak will now host Nations FC at the Nii Adjei Kraku II Sports Complex, Ghana Sports Page can exclusively confirm.
As confirmed, the University of Ghana Stadium has been selected to host the next edition of the African Schools Football Championship and will undergo renovation for the competition, scheduled for April 21 to April 26, 2025.
This marks the first time the event will be held in West Africa, following previous editions in South Africa (2023) and Tanzania (2024). The tournament, launched by CAF President Dr. Patrice Motsepe, aims to develop young football talent across the continent.
Initially, the Phobians were set to return to the Accra Sports Stadium for their outstanding league game against Nations FC, but the decision has now been changed.
Hearts had been unable to use the nation’s Wembley since September 2024 when it was closed for immediate upgrades to meet international standards. They have since been playing their home games at the University of Ghana Stadium.
However, Nii Adjei Kraku II Sports Complex will now serve them as their home venue for the game against Nations FC.
The Rianbows, currently fourth with 37 points from 23 games, trail leaders Asante Kotoko by five points and will look to close the gap in their title chase. Their return to the Accra Sports Stadium offers a chance to capitalize on home advantage against a formidable Nations FC side.
