Ghana Premier League title race reaches boiling point as Nations FC and Gold Stars brace for decisive fixtures

The penultimate round of the Ghana Premier League season will unfold on Sunday, 1 June 2025, with all fixtures kicking off simultaneously at 3 p.m. GMT.

Nations FC and Gold Stars remain locked in a dramatic battle for the league title, while Accra Lions face a make-or-break moment in their fight for top-flight survival.

Nations FC, leading the table by three points, have the opportunity to clinch their first-ever Ghana Premier League title—but only if they win and Gold Stars falter.

A trip to Ampain Aak II Sports Arena awaits Kassim Mingle’s side, where they will face Holy Stars, a team currently teetering on the edge of relegation.

Despite Nations FC having recorded a convincing 3-1 victory in the reverse fixture, Holy Stars now have everything to play for, sitting just three points above the drop zone.

The stakes could not be higher for both sides.

Gold Stars, trailing by a narrow margin, also hit the road for their matchday 33 clash against Berekum Chelsea.

While their hosts are no longer in contention for either relegation or continental qualification, Chelsea will look to end their season at home on a positive note.

For the Golden Boys, only a win will keep their title hopes alive—and even then, they must rely on Nations FC slipping up. The margin for error is razor thin.

Further down the table, Accra Lions are staring down the barrel of relegation after four seasons in the top flight.

With just 35 points—three fewer than the closest team outside the relegation zone—they must win their upcoming fixture against Dreams FC to keep their survival hopes intact.

Fortunately for the Lions, Dreams FC have no remaining objectives this season, offering a glimmer of hope to the hosts.

Yet the task remains formidable, and failure to secure three points would all but seal their fate.

As the clock ticks down, every pass, tackle, and goal could shape the outcome of a season defined by twists and tension.
