GFA postpones super clash between Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko
The super clash between fierce rivals in the history of Ghanaian football, Kumasi Asante and Accra Hearts of Oak, has been postponed by the Ghana Football Association due to the latter’s participation in the ongoing CAF Confederation Cup last round of qualifiers.
A statement on the website of the football association read;
“The Ghana Football Association wishes to announce that the Ghana Premier League Match Day 7 fixture between Accra Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko has been rescheduled.
This is due to the itinerary of Hearts of Oak in respect of the 2nd leg of the CAF Confederation Cup play-off tie against JS Souara which makes them unable to return in good time to honour the fixture.

The Ghanaian Champions are expected to return home on Friday, December 10, 2021 – making it impossible to play the match on Sunday, December 12.
Accra Hearts of Oak head into the fixture with a 2-0 advantage from the 1st leg and would hope to hang on to qualify for the Group stage of the 2021/22 CAF Confederation Cup.
Accra Hearts of Oak were scheduled to play their arch rivals Asante Kotoko on Match Day 7 of the Premier League on Sunday, December 12, 2021 at the Accra Sports stadium.
A new date would be communicated in due course. Asante Kotoko has 13 points after five games and are top of the table.
Hearts of Oak on the other end are rock bottom with 3 points after four games with a game in hand.
