Home Stars FC marked their return to the Ho Sports Stadium with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Great Ambition in Match Day 16 of the ongoing Access Bank Division One League.
The club had been forced to relocate to Hohoe due to the usage of the Ho Sports Stadium for the 41st National Farmers’ Day celebrations, which left the pitch in a poor state, failing to meet basic criteria and standards of the GFA Club Licensing Board.
During their temporary relocation, Home Stars FC played four games, comprising three league matches and one FA Cup tie, resulting in three consecutive home wins and a 1-2 loss in the FA Cup Round of 32 to Inter Allies FC.
They returned home to a warm welcome from their loyal fans, who packed the Ho Sports Stadium to witness their first match back.

“We’re delighted to be back home and to have secured a win,” a Home Stars FC official said. “We appreciate the support of our fans, and we’re looking forward to more success at the Ho Sports Stadium.”
Home Stars FC stands 4th with 26 points in the Division One, Zone 3 League Standings and will look to build on their momentum in their upcoming fixtures.
They face regional rivals Inter Allies FC away next, followed by a home match against Hakla FC.
The win against Great Ambition FC is a morale booster for the team, and their fans and officials are confident about their chances of achieving their objectives in the Division One League.
“Our objectives for the season as a club, remain intact, hopefully we will achieve them by the end of the season,” the club official added.
