Premier League side Basake Holy Stars are facing an uncertain future over their home ground following a legal dispute with Nzema Kotoko and the Omanhene of the Nzema East Traditional Council, Awulae Amihere Kpayinli.
The Nzema-based club had been playing at the Aiyinasi CAM Park until the facility was declared unfit for Premier League matches. The team subsequently relocated to the AAK-III Park, which belongs to Nzema Kotoko and its life patron, Awulae Kpayinli.
However, relations between the two sides have broken down, with the Omanhene filing a lawsuit against Holy Stars and the club’s owner, Simon Ehomah, seeking an injunction to prevent them from accessing the facility.
Efforts by Holy Stars’ management to resolve the matter through dialogue have so far proven unsuccessful.
The AAK-III Park, though built by Nzema Kotoko, received significant support from Ghana Gas, reportedly facilitated during Awulae’s tenure as a member of the company’s board.
Tensions are said to have escalated after the Omanhene demanded that Holy Stars pay ₵5,000 for every home match and ₵300 for each training session at the park. Club officials have described the fees as unsustainable for the team.
With the matter unresolved, Mr. Ehomah is considering relocating the club’s home matches to Tarkwa or Samartex, or even selling the team outright.
The development comes as the 2025/26 Ghana Premier League season approaches, leaving Holy Stars without a confirmed home ground.
