2025/26 Ghana Premier League: Week 34 Match Report - Karela United 0-1 Nations FC 

Nations FC's stay in the Ghana Premier League came to a heartbreaking end despite securing a 1-0 victory over Karela United on the final day of the 2025/26 season.

Knowing only a win would give them any chance of survival, Nations produced the result they needed in Tamale, but other outcomes elsewhere ultimately condemned them to relegation.

Antwi Sarpong scored the decisive goal in the 15th minute, giving the visitors an early lead they successfully protected for the remainder of the contest.

The victory was a welcome response from a Nations side that had entered the match on the back of consecutive defeats to Vision FC and Young Apostles, results that had left their survival hopes hanging by a thread.

Karela, already assured of their Premier League status before kickoff, played without the pressure facing their opponents and were unable to find a way back into the game after falling behind.

Despite collecting all three points, Nations were unable to climb out of the relegation zone as results elsewhere went against them.

The outcome marks a bitter end to the league campaign for the club, which had hoped to complete a dramatic escape on the final day.

However, Nations still have an opportunity to salvage something from a difficult season. The club will now turn its attention to the MTN FA Cup final against Dreams FC, with a place in continental football at stake.

Victory in the final would secure qualification for the CAF Confederation Cup, offering Nations the prospect of competing on the African stage next season despite playing in Ghana's second tier following their relegation from the Premier League.

For now, though, the disappointment of relegation is likely to overshadow a victory that ultimately proved insufficient.
