Dreams FC return to the Tuba Astro Turf on Sunday afternoon aiming to bounce back from consecutive defeats as they host a struggling Vision FC in matchday 28 of the Ghana Premier League.The Believers were on a remarkable eight-game unbeaten streak before recent slip-ups halted their momentum.Despite those losses, Dreams remain formidable at home, where they are unbeaten in their last six games - winning five and drawing one - while conceding just a single goal during that stretch.The defending MTN FA Cup champions will be eager to reaffirm their dominance at home and stay in contention for a strong finish to the season.Coach Karim Zito will look to his in-form players to respond positively, knowing a win could rejuvenate their campaign heading into the final run of fixtures.On the other hand, Vision find themselves in a precarious position ahead of Sunday's encounter.With just one win in their last eight matches, the Premier League newcomers are battling to avoid an immediate return to Division One.Their away form has been a major concern - since a solitary victory against Accra Lions on matchday two, they have gone 13 games on the road without a...

Nations FC welcome Asante Kotoko to Dr Kwame Kyei Sports Complex in a high-stakes Ashanti regional derby on Sunday, with both teams heading into the fixture in contrasting form.Nations are riding high on confidence following a five-game unbeaten run, while the Porcupine Warriors are desperate to bounce back from a humbling 3-0 defeat to Accra Lions in midweek.The fixture carries added weight due to recent history. Nations have won two of the last three meetings between the sides, including a 2-0 away win in November 2024. With 14 wins from 27 matches this season, Nations sit in a strong position, having conceded just 14 goals, the best defensive record in the league.Their recent four-game winning streak, including victories over Dreams FC, Nsoatreman, Karela United, and Hearts of Oak, places them among the league's most in-form sides.Kotoko, on the other hand, are without a win in their last three matches and have struggled defensively, conceding in each of those games. With seven games left in the season, pressure is mounting on coach Prosper Narteh Ogum, who has admitted that the team’s biggest challenge is regaining mental toughness."This game is full of surprises. Right now, our biggest...

In his first public comments on the Dreams FC-Tema Youth case, former GFA President Kwesi Nyantakyi has defended the judicial structure of the Football Association despite admitting to flaws in the 2015 Disciplinary Committee ruling.Nyantakyi explained that although the decision, which failed to penalise Dreams FC for identity manipulation, was later reversed by CAS, the GFA’s approach to establishing independent committees was a necessary step to reduce direct influence from club-affiliated executives. He argued that errors can still occur even within independent systems, citing similar shortcomings in the country’s judiciary, including the Supreme Court.He referenced Ghana’s 1961 Re: Akoto case, where the Supreme Court wrongly ruled that the constitution’s bill of rights was unenforceable, an error only corrected decades later."The Supreme Court makes mistakes. That’s why we have a hierarchy of courts," he said in an interview with Muftawu Nabila, adding that the GFA similarly created a system where decisions could be challenged through internal appeals.Nyantakyi maintained that, while the system may be imperfect, it marked a departure from direct interference by GFA officials in disciplinary and judicial matters.

Former Ghana Football Association (GFA) President Kwesi Nyantakyi has described the 2015 ruling by the GFA’s Disciplinary Committee in the Dreams FC and Tema Youth case as a “bad decision” that tarnished the image of the association.Speaking to Muftawu Nabila Abdulai, Nyantakyi distanced himself from the verdict, which banned a player but failed to sanction Dreams FC for altering his identity—a decision that was later overturned by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).The controversial case involved Daniel Gozar, whose identity was changed to Cudjoe Mensah. Tema Youth’s appeal to the GFA’s Appeals Committee was dismissed, prompting the club to seek redress at CAS.“The interesting thing is that I didn’t know anything about the [Cudjoe Mensah/Daniel Gozar] case [between Tema Youth and Dreams FC] and I had no role at all in it."I have heard rumours to the fact that I engineered or manipulated the Disciplinary Committee to pass that decision [of banning player without sanctioning Dreams FC],” Nyantakyi said.“I didn’t even understand the case, I didn’t know the facts of the case. I knew there was a case at the Disciplinary Committee and that was the extent of my knowledge."I have a good...
