Hearts of Oak have settled on the Baba Yara Sports Stadium as their temporal home ground due to the closure of the Accra Sports Stadium.

The Ghana Football Association (GFA) on Friday confirmed the decision by the club.

The Accra Sports Stadium's closure is linked to its rental for Christmas concerts, amongst other events.

In the matchday 13 games against Aduana FC at the Nana Agyemang Badu Park in Dormaa, Bright Adjei scored the only goal as the home side deepened the woes of the Phobian Club.

The defeat now leave Hearts of Oak at the 9th position on the league log with 16 points and will now hope to return to winning ways when they face their rivals, Kotoko on Sunday in the matchday 14 games of the ongoing 2023/24 Ghana Premier League.
