The start of the new league season begins Sunday as the sixteen clubs line up for the opening day fixtures in the Glo Premier League.

Hearts of Oak will set out to regain their Premiership title while Asante Kotoko will be trying to deny the Phobians a successful defence.

The champions will begin their Premier League title defence at the Kpando Park against Heart of Lions.

Lions, the off-season's best side will attempt to ride their impressive form into the new season despite losing their coach, Paa Kwesi Fabin to Kotoko.

For Hearts, new Egyptian coach, Ayman El Yamani will be looking for a win as he has a tough task of opening the Phobians’ campaign.

Newly promoted sides Great Olympics, New Edubiase and Aduana Stars will have tough opening matches.

Great Olympics, not new to the rigorous life in the premiership will mark their return to the top flight against Asante Kotoko in Accra.

For the other two elite debutants, they start out on the road away from home.

New Edubiase would play Liberty Professionals at the Carl Reindorf Park on Wednesday while Aduana Stars travel away to the Golden City Park to play Berekum Arsenals.

The established order will size themselves in other matches across the country.

Eleven Wise host All Stars on the first day while AshantiGold take on Berekum Chelsea at the Len Clay Stadium.

Real Tamale United will be at home to Hasacaas as the league's first derby game will come up at the Baba Yara Stadium where King Faisal battle Kessben FC.
