Hearts granted use of Tema pitch before Dwarfs match

Hearts of Oak have been granted permission to use the artificial pitch at the Tema Stadium ahead of the weekend's Glo Premier League match against Ebusua Dwarfs.

The Premier League Board approved a request by the Phobians to have their team train on the surface.


C.K. Akonnor's team will now train at the Tema Stadium on Thursday afternoon before returning to same venue for Saturday's match-day-3 fixture against Dwarfs.

Dwarfs are using the Tema Stadium as their home grounds this weekend as they continue to serve a home ban from last season.


The GFA's Disciplinary Committee last season barred Dwarfs from playing at the Robert Mensah Park in Cape Coast after handing them a 12-match suspension following a charge of misconduct levelled against the club.
