REVEALED: Accra Hearts Of Oak may not Survive the League if they feel another breeze of relegation

Hearts of Oak narrowly avoided relegation from the Ghana Premier League in the 2022/23 campaign, which has had a significant impact on the club’s fortunes.

On the final day of the season, the Phobians managed to secure their safety with a goalless draw against Berekum Chelsea at the Golden City Park in Berekum, as other results worked in their favor.

Throughout the season, the Rainbow club experienced a turbulent period, going through three different coaches. They won 12 matches, lost 12, and drew 10, scoring 32 goals while conceding 37 in the process. While some consider this performance as the worst the club has seen in recent seasons, it is worth noting that this claim is not entirely accurate. In the 2014/15 season, the club barely escaped relegation based on a superior goal aggregate.

During that perilous season, when Alhaji Akanbi played an active role as a board member, the club finished in 13th place with 40 points from 30 games. They won 10 matches, drew 10, and lost 10, with a total of 33 goals scored and 31 goals conceded. It was a precarious season for the Phobians, as Heart of Lions, Great Olympics, and B/A United all suffered relegation that year.
