Hearts make arrangements for supporters to travel to Angola

The management of Accra Hearts of Oak Sporting Club has announced to its teeming supporters and the general public that it has limited seats for interested fans who wish to watch their return second leg encounter with A.S. Aviacao in Luanda at a cost of 1000 dollars.

A statement signed by Mr Ashford Tetteh Oku, Administrative Manager of the club indicated that the amount is to cater for the airfare, visa acquisition, match tickets, feeding and accommodation during the period. Mr Oku said the team would leave Accra on Thursday, April 22, and return immediately after the match on Saturday, 24th April.

While Hearts would need to hold onto their home win of 4-1 against Aviacao to qualify, the Angolans on the other hand would have to score as many as three goals to nil on their home soil to qualify them to the next stage of the Champions League competition.

Mr Oku asked interested supporters to pay the amount and deposit their passports at the club's secretariat by close of Tuesday April 20 for early processing of their papers.

The Phobians are billed to play as host of Aviacao who lost 1-4 in their first encounter played at the Accra Sports Stadium last Sunday.
