A new date will be set for Hearts of Oak and Kotoko to face off in London when the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is no more, organizers of the clash have revealed.
The two most decorated clubs in Ghana were set to make history in England on March 7, 2020, where they would have faced off in a titanic encounter at the Barnet Stadium.
Because of torrential rains in the weeks leading to the match, the clash had to be postponed to a later date.
Ahead of the new date which is Saturday, April 11, 2020, the Coronavirus pandemic had made it impossible for the match to come on.
While many have lamented that the match could be called off entirely, Mr. Justin Addo who is the organizer of the encounter has emphasized that all should stay calm.
He has revealed that there is no cause for alarm because a new date will be set for the match once football activities resume in England.
"As we all aware due to the COVID-19, it is not possible to be playing the game as fixed for this Saturday (11 April) because now all the stadiums in the UK have been closed and there's no football going on in the UK”, he said.
Mr. Addo added, “For now we will wait till football resumes in the UK before we set a new date for it. I have paid for both teams visas etc so I expect the game to come on, there's no cause for alarm."
Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko receives this as good news and hope to meet in London very soon for that historic clash.
