Swedru All Blacks will be
aiming to revive their Premier League campaign when they host
defending champions Bibiani Gold Stars at the Swedru Sports Stadium
on Saturday, October 4, 2025.
Confidence remains in the
All-Blacks’ camp despite a heartbreaking 2-1 defeat to Aduana FC
last weekend, which denied them back-to-back victories in the
topflight. The last time the Swedru-based side managed successive
league wins was during the 2008/09 season, when they stunned Hearts
of Oak 3-1 before edging King Faisal 1-0.
This season, Ahmed Ibrahim
Fathi’s side have found the net in all three of their league
fixtures (W1, L2) but defensive frailties have cost them, conceding
five goals in the process. However, their home form offers plenty
of encouragement. The All Blacks have won their last three league
matches at the Swedru Sports Stadium without conceding, including a
commanding 3-0 victory over Berekum Chelsea on Matchday 2. Gold
Stars return to domestic action following a bruising exit from the
CAF Champions League, where they were eliminated by Algeria’s JS
Kabylie with a 7-0 aggregate defeat. The reigning champions will
now look to regroup and focus on defending their Premier League
crown.
The Miners opened their
2025/26 campaign with a 2-1 victory over Bechem United at Dun’s
Park and will be eager to claim their second successive league win.
Gold Stars were formidable travellers last season, ranking as the
third-best away side with six wins, five draws and six defeats.
They head into Saturday’s fixture seeking a third consecutive away
victory in the league, underlining their ability to perform on the
road.
Gold Stars also have two
outstanding fixtures against Asante Kotoko (Matchday 2) and Berekum
Chelsea (Matchday 3), making the Swedru clash a key opportunity to
maintain momentum as they look to keep pace in the title race.
This encounter marks the
first-ever competitive meeting between Swedru All Blacks and
Bibiani Gold Stars. For the hosts, it is a chance to secure
back-to-back home wins and solidify their return to top-flight
football, while the champions will be determined to make a strong
statement as they resume their domestic campaign. With both sides
having plenty to prove, Saturday’s clash promises to be an intense
and intriguing battle in the 2025/26 Premier League season.
