Hearts of Oak have embarked on a pre-season tour to Togo with a squad of 31 players as they prepare for the upcoming season. Under the guidance of coach Aboubakar Ouattara, the team aims to refine their tactics and integrate new signings ahead of the new campaign.

The team’s pre-season journey follows a mixed start: a defeat to Asante Kotoko in the Democracy Cup but a victory in the Gbese Mantse Cup after a penalty shootout win over Heart of Lions. The squad is eager to improve on their previous season’s performance.
