All set for Aduana coronation today

The Nana Agyeman Badu Park at Dormaa-Ahenkro will be the centre of attraction on Sunday as people from far and near will throng the ancient Brong Ahafo town to witness the coronation of the new Ghana Premier League champions, Aduana Stars.

This is the second time Aduana Stars will be crowned GPL lords after they were led by the late Herbert Addo to win the trophy on their debut in the elite league seven years ago.
