The 2024/25 Ghana Premier League season officially concluded on Sunday, June 8, 2025.
However, a cloud of uncertainty lingered over the final standings, with the Ghana Football Association waiting on the proceedings of the Disciplinary Committee after Nations FC forfeited their Matchday 33 clash against Basake Holy Stars.
But with the Ghana Football Association’s Disciplinary Committee on Tuesday, June 10,2025, ruling that Nations FC initiated the abandonment of the match, they awarded a 3–0 win to Basake Holy Stars and deducted three points from Nations' tally.
That ruling has had a significant impact on the top half of the table, particularly in the third and fourth positions.
As it stands, newly-crowned champions Bibiani Gold Stars top the table with 63 points from 34 games, capping off a sensational campaign that saw them outpace the pack in the final stretch.
Heart of Lions finish second with 60 points. But the big shake-up comes in the battle for third and fourth place.
Asante Kotoko, who were originally in fourth place before the ruling, have now climbed to third with 58 points, leapfrogging both Nations FC and bitter rivals Hearts of Oak.
Hearts of Oak, who were previously fifth, now slot into fourth place, level on 58 points with Kotoko but behind on the head-to-head rule, which determined positions after the points tie.
The biggest losers from the ruling are Nations FC, who were originally on 60 points and in third place.
But the three-point deduction drops them to 57 points and down to fifth place.
Just behind them, Dreams FC finish sixth with 52 points, followed by Samartex, last season’s champions, in seventh with 51. Medeama, champions from the 2022/23 season, round out the top eight with 50 points.
Further down the table, Basake Holy Stars are the biggest movers outside the top half. Their successful protest and awarded three points have lifted them from 41 to 44 points, jumping to 12th place and securing their Premier League status.
Their fellow newly-promoted clubs, Vision FC and Young Apostles, finished 11th and 15th respectively with 45 and 40 points, the latter narrowly escaping the drop.
At the bottom, the three relegated clubs are now confirmed. Accra Lions finish 16th with 35 points, while Legon Cities end a dismal campaign in 17th with just 25 points.
Nsoatreman, who withdrew from the league after the tragic death of a Kotoko supporter in a controversial away fixture, finish bottom of the table on 15 points.
Their withdrawal meant they forfeited the remainder of their matches, sealing their relegation weeks before the final day.
