Abdul Salam Yakubu, the new owner of Edubiase United, thinks Hearts of Oak needs to be on par with Al Ahly, the dominant team in Egypt.
But recently, the Phobians' fortunes have declined. One of Ghana's most legendary football teams, Hearts of Oak, is deeply ingrained in the history of African football.
The team has won multiple championships, such as the CAF Confederation Cup in 2005 and the esteemed CAF Champions League in 2000.
Even with its illustrious past and prestigious status, Hearts of Oak is currently dealing with serious difficulties.
The Ghana Premier League season of 2023–2024 was especially disastrous for the squad, as they just managed to avoid relegation.
The end result of this battle was a controversial victory over Bechem United on the final day, which brought attention to structural problems inside the team.
In Africa, Hearts of Oak is a well-known brand. Their benchmark ought to have been on par with Al Ahly's. Everything right now revolves around investment, Yakubu said to Asempa FM.
Asante Kotoko and Hearts of Oak are two of the biggest clubs in Africa, although they haven't performed well in a long time. Football is an investment that will pay off.
