Accra Lions have been relegated from the Ghana Premier League after a 2-0 loss to Dreams FC at the Accra Sports Stadium, ending their five-year tenure in the top flight.
The match saw a bright start from the Lions, who dominated much of the first half and created several clear chances.
Lucky Nwafor came close to scoring when his powerful header struck the crossbar after a cross from Fuzy Taylor. However, the team failed to capitalize on these opportunities.
In the second half, Dreams FC took control with goals from
Razak Salifu and substitute Aziz Musibau, which sealed the Lions' fate and confirmed their relegation.
The defeat marked a disappointing end to a season that began with promise. Accra Lions had established themselves as a competitive side, finishing second in the 2023/2024 season with one of the youngest squads in world football.
Founded in 2015, the club first competed in Ghana Division One – Zone 3 in 2018 and earned promotion to the Premier League in the 2020/2021 season, impressively scoring
57 goals in 28 matches.
Their relegation brings a frustrating close to a campaign that began with high hopes. The focus now shifts to rebuilding in Division One, with aspirations of a swift return to the Premier League.
“What began as a season filled with potential has ended in disappointment,” reflecting the mood around the club after the loss.
The Lions’ relegation underscores the challenges of maintaining top-flight status despite early promise and strong performances in the league.
