Matchday One Preview: Eyes on Hearts, Kotoko as Special Competition restores club football in Ghana

After a nine-month hiatus, competitive domestic club football returns to Ghana, albeit in a slightly altered form.

The Ghana Football Association Normalisation Committee Special Competition - a newly-introduced championship to "keep clubs busy" until the start of a new Premier League season in August - is all but set to kick off on Sunday.

The novelty league will mark the resumption of football activities in the west African nation since the suspension of the domestic leagues in June last year after an investigative documentary by renowned undercover journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas left the Ghana FA and its leadership in a turbulent bribery and corruption scandal.
