Bibiani Gold Stars underlined their growing stature in Ghanaian football by winning the 2025 GHALCA Top 4 tournament, adding another trophy to their cabinet after lifting the Ghana Premier League last season.
Entering the competition as reigning league champions, the Western North-based side used the platform not to surprise but to reinforce their credentials ahead of their maiden CAF Champions League campaign.
Gold Stars opened with a 2-1 victory over Asante Kotoko before showing remarkable resilience in consecutive shootout wins—edging Hearts of Oak 4-3 after a 1-1 draw and repeating the feat against Heart of Lions by the same scoreline.
Their unbeaten run throughout the tournament showcased a blend of tactical organisation, mental toughness, and clinical execution under pressure.
By lifting the Top 4 crown, Gold Stars sent a strong message that their domestic title was no fluke, but rather a foundation for greater ambitions.
The victory sets the tone for their continental adventure, with Gold Stars carrying both confidence and momentum as they prepare to represent Ghana in the CAF Champions League.
Their dominance in the Top 4 affirms their place among the country’s elite clubs, making them a team to watch both at home and on the African stage.
