Ghana’s most iconic football rivalry will take center stage once again as Asante Kotoko lock horns with Accra Hearts of Oak in the 2025 GHALCA President’s Cup, scheduled for Sunday, July 6 at the Accra Sports Stadium.
A Decade of Tradition and Passion
Now in its 10th edition, the President’s Cup has grown into a landmark event in the Ghanaian football calendar. More than just a football match, it symbolizes national pride, cultural celebration, and the enduring passion for the sport in Ghana.
Organized by the Ghana League Clubs Association (GHALCA) and backed by the Ministry of Sports and Recreation, the match pays tribute to both the game and the country’s unity through sport.
This year’s event will be even more special with former President John Dramani Mahama expected to attend the final and personally present the trophy to the victors — adding extra prestige to the already electric atmosphere.

On the other side, Accra Hearts of Oak is rallying with high hopes and a renewed sense of purpose. Reports suggest the club is set to unveil a new technical team led by coach Didi Dramani, signaling a new direction as the new season approaches.
Backed by their passionate fanbase and motivated by the prospect of performing in front of the President and a home crowd, the Phobians aim to deliver a statement performance — turning past struggles into a springboard for resurgence.
More Than a Match: A National Symbol
The President’s Cup represents far more than just silverware. It’s a symbolic convergence of football and state, celebrating heritage, unity, and the spirit of Ghanaian identity.
