The much awaited Independence Anniversary Match in the history of Ghana football between two Ghanaian football arch rivals, Accra Hearts of Oak and Kumasi Asante Kotoko which was scheduled to be played in London on March 7, 2020 has been rescheduled due to days of torrential rainfall in the Barnet, where the match will be played.
The match to commemorate Ghana’s 63rd Independence Anniversary was scheduled for March 7 at the The Hive stadium in Barnet. However, organisers have decided to postpone it to April 11.
According to the Barnet Chairman, Tony Kleathous, “There is no real problem with the pitch that a dry spell and a bit work would not quickly resolve, but we have barely had a day without rain since September, and the forecast one in hundred-year event has now become our reality.”
HRH Sports Consult and ProBall International, who are the organizers of the match, in consultation with the Ghana Football Association (GFA) and the two clubs have picked April 11, Easter Saturday as the new date for the match.
