Hearts of Oak, Accra Lions and Great Olympics will have to find new venues for their respective matches for match day eight and nine.

Accra Lions have adopted the Cape Coast stadium while Olympics will be adopting the Red Bull Arena in Sogakope.

Hearts of Oak will move to the Cape Coast Sports Stadium for their home games.

The Accra Sports Stadium is set to host Medikal and Shatta Wale’s Freedom Concert in the coming days.
