2023/24 Ghana Premier League: Week 1 Match Preview - Great Olympics vs Bofoakwa Tano

Published on: 16 September 2023

Bofoakwa Tano makes a triumphant return to the Premier League after a 16-year hiatus, securing qualification in Zone One of the Access Bank Division One League at the expense of rivals Techiman Eleven Wonders.

Their journey takes them to Accra, where they'll face Great Olympics, not merely as guests of the grounds, but as contenders for Premier League glory - a venue that played a crucial role in their qualification.

On Saturday, they square off against Accra Great Olympics, a side that clinched the 14th spot in the 2022/23 betPawa Premier League.

Great Olympics enters the season with renewed optimism after narrowly avoiding relegation last season. They've re-appointed Annor Walker to lead them, following an unsatisfactory stint with FC Samartex 1996.

The Dade boys are in good form, securing victories in their last two home games. They'll meet a Bofoakwa Tano side that qualified from Zone One through a playoff victory over Techiman Eleven Wonders.

Frimpong Manso, a revered figure in Ghanaian and Asante Kotoko football, has taken the reins as head coach. His tenure is off to a promising start, having guided the team to victory in the Division One League Super Cup.

Bofoakwa Tano has bolstered their squad with notable additions, including Rashid Mohammed, Steven Owusu, Charles Owusu, Andrews Appau, and goalkeeper Osei Kwame.

Great Olympics will heavily lean on the experience of stalwarts like Samuel Ashie Quaye and Philip Sackey, alongside new signings Isaac Mensah, Mathew Abayase, and Mathew Agama.
