Accra Lions head coach Rainer Kraft has issued a heartfelt apology to the club’s supporters following their relegation from the Ghana Premier League, confirmed by a heavy 4-0 defeat to champions Bibiani GoldStars on the final day of the 2024/25 season.

The loss at DUN's Park ended the Lions’ four-year stay in the top flight and marked a dramatic decline for a team that had finished as runners-up just a season earlier. Goals from Abdul Farouk Amoaful, Kelvin Oppong, Samuel Kumi, and Frank Amankwah sealed their fate, pushing them to 15th on the league table.

Speaking after the match, Kraft acknowledged the deep disappointment of the result but maintained pride in the team’s overall effort and long-term vision. He took a moment to thank the fans for their consistent support throughout the turbulent campaign.

“So it's a little bit disappointing, of course. But it doesn’t harm, in the end, what we are doing,” Kraft said. “And one last thing I want to say: I want to thank all the fans we have in Accra and beyond for always supporting us… thank you very much, fans. And I'm sorry for that relegation.”

Accra Lions will now join Legon Cities and Nsoatreman FC in the Division One League after all three sides were relegated at the close of the season.
