The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has rescheduled Matchday 5 fixtures of the Ghana Premier League. 

Those games have been swapped with Matchday 9 fixtures, which will have Hearts of Oak hosting Asante Kotoko.

According to a statement by the GFA, the revision was made as part of efforts to enhance the delivery of television schedule and align with the FIFA calendar.

From FIFA, the final 2026 World Cup qualifiers are to be played simultaneously on Sunday, October 12 with the Black Stars set to host Comoros in a crucial Group I clash at the Accra Sports Stadium.

“Matchday 9 will now be played on the weekend of Friday, 10 October to Monday, 13 October 2025 while Matchday 5 will now be played on the weekend of Thursday, 6 November to Sunday, 9 November 2025,” the GFA explained.

“Clubs scheduled to play at home outside Accra during the rescheduled Matchday 5 may opt to host their games on Sunday, unless it is a live match.

“Clubs scheduled to play in Accra during the rescheduled Matchday 9 will host their matches on Monday, 13 October 2025, in light of the Black Stars’ FIFA World Cup qualifier on Sunday, 12 October 2025.”

The Phobians are scheduled to host the Porcupine Warriors on Matchday 9, therefore that game will likely be played on Monday, October 13.
