The stage is set for Ghana’s biggest football rivalry as Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko clash in the first Super Clash of the 2025/26 Ghana Premier League season at the Accra Sports Stadium on Sunday, November 9, 2025. This highly anticipated fixture marks the 118th meeting between the two most successful clubs in Ghanaian football history, with both sides unbeaten and eager to stake their claim in this season’s title race.
Hearts of Oak enter this fixture in fine form under head coach Mas-Ud Didi Dramani, who has revitalized the Phobians with a disciplined and structured approach. The Accra-based giants remain unbeaten after eight matches, recording four wins and four draws, their longest unbeaten league run since 2020 (W9, D6). Currently third on the table with 16 points, just two behind leaders Aduana FC, Hearts have built their early-season success on defensive solidity.
Asante Kotoko travel to the capital brimming with confidence after an emphatic 4-2 victory over Karela United at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium last weekend, a result that reignited their campaign. The Porcupine Warriors, currently 8th on the table with 11 points, have played fewer matches than any other team due to three outstanding fixtures, which could significantly alter their position in the coming weeks.
Head-to-Head
Since 2020, Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko have met five times at the Accra Sports Stadium in the Premier League, with the Phobians recording two wins, two draws, and one defeat (W2, D2, L1).
The Battle Ahead
With both teams unbeaten and determined to make a statement, Sunday’s Super Clash promises to deliver the passion, intensity, and spectacle that define Ghana’s greatest football rivalry. For Hearts, it’s a chance to reinforce their title credentials and delight their home supporters. For Kotoko, it’s an opportunity to extend their unbeaten run and announce their resurgence in style. The Accra Sports Stadium will once again be the theatre of dreams, where history, pride, and glory collide in the battle between the Phobians and the Porcupine Warriors.
