As the 2023/24 Premier League season unfolds, all eyes will be on the Golden City Park this Sunday, September 17, 2023, as Berekum Chelsea set the stage for an exciting clash against Bibiani Gold Stars.
Berekum Chelsea, with home advantage on their side, are poised to make a statement in their opening fixture. The squad has been meticulously preparing for this encounter, eager to kick-start their campaign on a winning note.
However, Berekum Chelsea, despite losing key players Kalou Ouattara and Henry Ansu to Asante Kotoko, are anything but discouraged.
Coach Christopher Ennin remains steadfast in his belief that the team can rise above these departures. Their recent triumph in the Nsenkyire Cup, hosted by fellow Premier League contender Samartex 1996 FC, serves as a testament to their mettle and readiness for the challenges ahead.
Ennin's tactical acumen will be put to the test, as he aims to harness the pre-season momentum and translate it into a strong performance against a resolute Gold Stars side. The Bibires have been active in the transfer market, reinforcing their squad in the wake of key departures.
Notably, the departure of last season's premier league top scorer, Abednego Tetteh, prompted Gold Stars to make strategic acquisitions.
The arrivals of Alex Aso and Ali Huzaif signal their intent to maintain a formidable attacking force. The addition of talents like Roland Frimpong, Sadat Mohammed, Eric Bosomtwi, and goalkeeper Yaw Osei further bolsters their squad depth.
Under the astute guidance of Michael Osei, Gold Stars harbor aspirations of breaking into the Top 4 this season, a goal that hinges on improved away performances. The team is determined to hit the ground running, making Sunday's fixture a pivotal starting point.
