The Ghana Football Association has rejected Hearts of Oak’s request to reschedule their matchday 30 game.
The Ghanaian giants on Tuesday, June 18, 2021 petitioned the Ghana FA to postpone their game against Legon Cities ahead of the Super Clash against arch-rivals Asante Kotoko.
The Phobians will play Legon Cities on Thursday 24 June, 2021 at the Accra Sports Stadium on match day 30.
In the letter copied to Footballghana.com, Hearts of Oak argues that their arch-rivals Asante Kotoko will get enough rest ahead of the big game since they play their league game on Wednesday afternoon thus getting a 72-hour rest whilst they get a 42-hour rest should they play on Thursday evening.
The league leaders are proposing the two games to be played simultaneously to ensure the two teams get the 72-hour rest.
However, according the club’s Communication Director, Opare Addo, the FA has informed them their request cannot be granted.
“GFA has sent us a letter that, our request for the change of time cannot be granted. For now, we are focusing on the Windy Professionals game on Sunday then we deal with Legon Cities and use the other day for recovery ahead of the Kotoko game” he told Pure FM.
