Africa-Press – Ghana. Accra Hearts of Oak have withdrawn from the 2025 edition of the Eko International Tournament, which was due to take place in Lagos, Nigeria next week.
According to a club statement, the decision to withdraw from the competition was based on a change in the fixture schedule from July 6-13 to July 13-20, 2025.
“Unfortunately, this change clashes with our carefully planned recovery period for the players, which is crucial before we kick off our pre-season preparation.
“After careful discussions between management and the technical team, we have taken the difficult decision to withdraw in order to protect the well-being of our squad,” the statement said.
The club also apologised to the organisers and fans who eagerly anticipated their participation at the tournament.
The Phobian Club also stated that the team would take a break on Wednesday, July 9, 2025.
It added that preseason would resume later in the month of July as they prepare for the 2025-26 football season.
The club also announced their participation in the GHALCA top four tournament, the Homowo Cup, as well as the Democracy Cup.
