THE NEW Ghana football season kicks off in style next Sunday, August 31, 2025 3:00 p.m. GMT when Bibiani Gold Stars host Asante Kotoko in the Champion of Champions match at Duns Park, Bibiani.
The highly anticipated fixture pits last season’s Premier League champions against the MTN FA Cup winners, serving as both a prestigious title decider and the official curtain-raiser to the domestic campaign.
Gold Stars, surprise winners of the 2024/25 Premier League, will look to continue their fairytale under head coach Frimpong Manso.
Backed by their passionate home crowd, the Bibiani-based side are eager to add another historic trophy to their cabinet and cement their place among Ghana’s football elite.
Kotoko, meanwhile, arrive with pedigree and ambition. After lifting the FA Cup last season, the Porcupine Warriors, led by coach Karim Zito, are targeting a strong start to boost confidence ahead of their CAF Confederation Cup campaign.
With both clubs boasting quality squads and hungry fan bases, expectations are high for a thrilling contest.
The Duns Park is expected to be packed to capacity, with fans from the Ashanti and Western North regions set to create a fiery atmosphere.
