Pres Mahama to kick off 2025/26 GPL today
T HE 2025/26 Premier League will officially kick off today at the Accra Sports Stadium, with the President, John Dramani Mahama, expected to perform the ceremonial kick-off ahead of the season opener between Accra Hearts of Oak and league debutants, Hohoe United.
President Mahama will be joined by Football Association President, Kurt Edwin Simeon-Okraku, members of the Executive Council and football fans from across the capital as the curtain rises on what promises to be one of the most exciting campaigns in recent years.
Giants, Hearts of Oak, will open the campaign against newly promoted, Hohoe United, under the floodlights of the Accra Sports Stadium at 7pm.
The Phobians, bolstered by new signings and a strong pre-season campaign, are eager to end a four-year run without an opening-day victory, while United will be aiming to make a statement in their first-ever top-flight match.
Before the main fixture, there will be a curtain-raiser between the Black Starlets (Ghana U-17) and Auroras FC, the youth side of Hearts of Oak, at 4pm.
Adding to the celebratory atmosphere, top Afro-dancehall and reggae musician, Stonebwoy (Livingstone Etse Satekla), will deliver a live performance at the venue, ensuring fans enjoy not only football but also top-class entertainment on the opening night.
