The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has officially confirmed that the 2025 Champion of Champions match will take place on Sunday, August 31, 2025, marking the ceremonial kickoff of the 2025/26 Ghana Premier League season.
This eagerly anticipated one-off clash will see reigning league champions Bibiani Gold Stars FC lock horns with MTN FA Cup winners Asante Kotoko SC, in a fixture that promises early fireworks and sets the tone for the domestic season ahead.
Scheduled in line with Article 9 of the Premier League Regulations, the Champion of Champions fixture is a traditional curtain-raiser to the new campaign—bringing together the best of the league and FA Cup for bragging rights and early silverware.
Bibiani Gold Stars made history by winning their first-ever Ghana Premier League title, capping off a fairy-tale run to secure their place in Ghanaian football folklore. Meanwhile, Asante Kotoko, one of Ghana’s most decorated clubs, reaffirmed their pedigree by lifting the MTN FA Cup and earning the right to feature in this prestigious tie.
