Stadfast and VA Power played out a 1:1 draw in the opening fixture of the First Division League on September 18, 2026. The match marked the beginning of Regular Season 1, with both sides taking home a point from their first encounter of the campaign.
By then, the table reflected exactly what the result suggested — both teams sat level on one point after one game each. Stadfast occupy the top position, while VA Power follow in second, though the gap between them remains zero. To be fair, with only a single match played, the standings tell us little beyond the fact that neither side has won or lost yet.
Stadfast's recent history comes from a different era entirely. Their last four recorded results span December 2022 through November 2023, including a 3:1 win over STC Stars and a 1:0 victory against Tamale City. They also carried losses — 2:3 to Karala and 0:1 to King Faisal — before this season opened. And here's the thing: those results are not directly comparable to what they face now.
VA Power's recent form is more current, with five matches logged between March and May 2026. They beat Sankara Nationals 2:0 and Real Tamale 1:0, but also fell to Bolga All Stars 1:2 and TF Exponential 2:3. A 1:3 defeat to Tamale City completes that run. The contrast in timelines is striking — one club drawing on older memories, the other building on fresher ones.
The result leaves both teams searching for their first win. Stadfast, sitting first on goal difference or tiebreakers, will want to turn that point into three. VA Power, in second, have a chance to leapfrog. The season has barely begun, but already the pattern is set — two teams refusing to yield, and neither willing to settle for less.
