History will be made at the Golden City Park on Sunday as debutants Debibi United step onto the Ghana Premier League stage for the very first time, welcoming the legendary Asante Kotoko to Berekum.
Because their home grounds are still undergoing final preparations to meet top-flight standards, Debibi United will host their inaugural Premier League fixture away from home. Yet, the sense of occasion remains massive for the newly promoted side, who punched their ticket to the elite division following a stellar 3-1 victory over Tamale City in the Zone One promotion playoffs.
In a refreshing vote of confidence, club hierarchy opted to stick with promotion-winning head coach Isaac Armah, ensuring stability in the dugout as the club navigates uncharted waters.
Standing in their way is an Asante Kotoko side eager to turn the page after a tumultuous 2025/26 campaign. The Porcupine Warriors have undergone a significant offseason reset, headlined by the appointment of experienced South African tactician Eric Tinkler.
Addressing the media ahead of the clash, Tinkler acknowledged the intense pressure that comes with the Kumasi hot seat while preaching a steady-hand approach.
