The 2025 GHALCA President’s Cup will see Asante Kotoko and Accra Hearts reignite their historic rivalry on Sunday, July 6th at Accra Sports Stadium.
The event, now in its tenth year, honors the current President of the Republic.
This year’s event is even more significant because President John Dramani Mahama will be present to award the trophy to the winning team.
The President’s Cup, a football match organised by GHALCA and supported by the Ministry of Sports and Recreation, is more than just a game.
Ghana’s national celebration unites the country through sports, specifically football, and the passion it ignites.
Known as the “Super Clash”, the match between Ghana’s two most decorated football clubs always delivers intense competition, pride, and excitement.
Asante Kotoko enter the match riding high after recently winning their 10th MTN FA Cup. The Porcupine Warriors’ 2-1 victory against Golden Kick at the University of Ghana Stadium on June 15th marked their return to FA Cup glory after a six-year absence.
The victory has renewed their fans’ belief, and the team is now more confident. Having already won silverware, Kotoko are targeting another trophy to secure their place at the top of Ghanaian football.
Meanwhile, Accra Hearts of Oak are entering the contest amid great anticipation, as someone will announce a new technical team under coach Didi Dramani before the 2025/26 season.
With passionate fans behind them and determined to overcome recent setbacks, the Phobians aim for a strong showing, especially at home with the President watching.
For both clubs, more than bragging rights are at stake. The President’s Cup symbolizes legacy, pride, and national recognition.
Football and national pride converge in this fixture, culminating in a symbolic moment representing the core of Ghanaian sports and identity.
In anticipation of this big game, the question on everyone’s mind is which team President Mahama will crown the champion.
