Vision FC host Young Apostles in the opening match of the 2026/27 Ghana Premier League at the Nii Adjei Kraku II Sports Complex on Saturday, September 5, 2026.

The Tema-based side return to action full of confidence after recording their best-ever Premier League finish lasts season. Vision FC ended last season in the top half of the table, collecting 47 points from 34 matches and scoring 38 goals to finish among the league's most potent attacking sides.

Vision FC boast an unbeaten record in Premier League opening-day fixtures. Their first two season openers both ended in draws—a goalless result against Berekum Chelsea in their debut campaign and another draw against FC Samartex 1996 last season.

Their confidence will also be boosted by an impressive record against Young Apostles at home, having recorded one victory and one draw in their two previous Premier League meetings.

The hosts were particularly formidable on their own turf last season, winning nine and drawing six of their 17 home league matches while suffering just two defeats.

Young Apostles, meanwhile, head into the new campaign hoping to avoid another season-long battle for survival. Since earning promotion to the Premier League, the Wenchi-based side have consistently found themselves fighting to preserve their top-flight status.

Their crucial 2-0 victory over FC Samartex 1996 on the final day of last season ultimately secured their Premier League survival, and the club will now be hoping that several new arrivals can help them improve on their 15th-place finish.

There are encouraging signs for Young Apostles, who won six of their final 10 league matches last season and kept four clean sheets during that period.

However, their record in season openers remains a concern. The Wenchi lads have lost both of their previous Premier League opening-day fixtures, suffering 2-0 defeats on each occasion.
