President Mahama to Host Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko in Historic 10th President’s Cup
Ghana is set to witness a landmark sporting event as President John Dramani Mahama prepares to host the nation’s fiercest football rivals, Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko, in the 10th edition of the President’s Cup on Sunday, July 6, 2025, at the Accra Sports Stadium.
The match, a flagship fixture on Ghana’s football calendar, is expected to draw thousands of fans and will be attended personally by the President, who will present the trophy to the winning team.
More Than Just a Game
Organised by the Ghana League Clubs Association (GHALCA) with support from the government, the President’s Cup has grown into more than just a football match. It now stands as a celebration of unity, national pride, and the enduring passion for football that binds Ghanaians together.
This year’s edition carries even more significance as it marks a decade since the inception of the competition, adding ceremonial weight to the already intense “Super Clash” between Ghana’s two most decorated clubs.
Hearts and Kotoko Gear Up
Asante Kotoko enter the game with renewed confidence following their FA Cup triumph on June 15, 2025, where they defeated Golden Kick FC 2-1 at the University of Ghana Stadium to secure their 10th MTN FA Cup title. The win has reignited belief among fans, with the players determined to deliver another trophy.
Hearts of Oak, on the other hand, are hoping for a fresh start under new head coach Mas-Ud Didi Dramani. The Phobians, despite recent challenges, are eyeing their third consecutive President’s Cup victory and will enjoy home advantage with a passionate crowd behind them.
Football Meets Leadership
This match is not just about trophies—it symbolizes the deep interconnection between sports and leadership in Ghana. The President’s Cup often serves as a moment where football and politics converge, showcasing unity and national pride.
High Stakes and Bragging Rights
As the countdown begins, fans across the country are bracing for a thrilling encounter. With bragging rights, honour, and a historic trophy on the line, both clubs are expected to field strong squads and deliver a memorable spectacle.
