Young Apostles will be aiming to secure their first victory of the 2026/27 Ghana Premier League season when they host Basake Holy Stars at the Nana Abrefa Nketia VII Stadium on Sunday, September 13, 2026.
The Wenchi-based side endured a difficult start to the campaign, suffering a 3-0 defeat away to Vision FC on the opening weekend.
Head coach Abubakar Fuseini will be hoping his team can put that disappointing result behind them and produce a much-improved performance in front of their home supporters.
Fuseini attributed the opening-day defeat to a lapse in concentration and believes the mistakes that cost his side against Vision FC have now been addressed.
The Young Apostles tactician will therefore expect his players to show greater concentration and discipline as they target maximum points against Holy Stars.
Samuel Adamu, Musah Mohammed, Illiasu Mumuni and Felix Aboagye all made their competitive debuts for Young Apostles in the defeat to Vision FC and will be looking to make a stronger impact on Sunday.
Teenage forward Felix Aboagye will be one of the players to watch as Young Apostles seek to improve their attacking output and open their account for the season.
Basake Holy Stars, meanwhile, will travel to Wenchi with confidence after securing a 1-0 victory over Swedru All Blacks on the opening weekend.
Francis Oteng Gyetuah's late goal proved decisive for the visitors, giving head coach Abdulai Gazale the perfect start to the new campaign.
Gazale will be hoping his team can carry that momentum into Sunday's encounter, although Holy Stars face a Young Apostles side that will be determined to make home advantage count.
The visitors are also yet to record a victory at the Nana Abrefa Nketia VII Stadium since both clubs gained promotion to the Ghana Premier League.
With Young Apostles desperate to bounce back from their opening-day defeat and Holy Stars eager to build on their winning start, Sunday's encounter promises to be an intriguing battle in Wenchi.
