The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has indefinitely postponed the league match between Heart of Lions FC and Hearts of Oak, which was scheduled for Sunday.
The decision was made due to the spillage of the Akosombo dam, which has had a negative impact on Sogakope, where the match was set to take place at WAFA Park.
In a statement, the GFA explained, “The GFA will continue to monitor the situation and announce a new date for the match in due course.”
The Volta River Authority (VRA) initiated controlled spillage at the Akosombo and Kpong dams in the Eastern Region starting on September 15.
This action was taken due to the excess water in both reservoirs resulting from heavy rainfall. The spillage has had far-reaching repercussions on various communities, notably impacting Sogakope and prompting the GFA to indefinitely postpone the highly-anticipated match.
Both teams have struggled to establish themselves in the new season. Heart of Lions are looking for their first win, while Hearts of Oak coach Martin Koopman is under pressure after only one win in four games.
