FIFA President Gianni Infantino has lauded 2020/21 Ghana Premier League champions Accra Hearts of Oak.

The rainbow club was coronated as champions of the elite domestic league after their clash with WAFA at the Red Bull Arena in Sogakope.

The trophy was the Phobia’s 21st GPL title in history, three less wins than arch-rivals Asante Kotoko.

In his letter, the FIFA President hailed Hearts of Oak’s victory, putting it down to the hard-work, passion and commitment exhibited by every member of the team.

“Please allow me to congratulate Hearts of Oak for having been crowned 2020/21 champions of Ghana!

This title is, no doubt, the result of hard work, passion and commitment, and everyone at the club can be proud of this important achievement. I would be grateful if you could please extend my congratulations to everybody involved, whom I encourage to continue working with team spirit, passion and determination.

On behalf of the international football community, I finally take this opportunity to thank you and your Association for your contribution to the development and the prosperity of football in Ghana, in your region and around the world.

I look forward to seeing you again soon”, the FIFA President wrote.

Hearts will represent Ghana in the CAF Champions league next season after over twelve years of absence in the African terrain.
