Asante Kotoko and Hearts of Oak clash for 2025 President’s cup
Asante Kotoko and Hearts of Oak set for another historic showdown in the 2025 GHALCA President’s Cup at the Accra Sports Stadium on Sunday, 6th July 2025 as the two (2) most decorated football clubs go head-to-head in this year’s GHALCA President’s Cup, an annual fixture held in honour of the sitting President of the Republic.
This year, which marks the 10th edition, will be particularly significant as His Excellency John Dramani Mahama, President of Ghana, will attend and present the trophy to the winning team.
Organised by Ghana League Clubs Association (GHALCA) with support from Ministry of Sports and Recreation, the President’s Cup is more than just a football match, it is a national tradition that celebrates the unity, passion, and sporting excellence of the country.
The clash between Kotoko and Hearts, often dubbed the “Super Clash”, promises to deliver another thrilling chapter in Ghana’s football history. Both clubs boast a rich legacy and a passionate fanbase that extends far beyond the borders of Kumasi and Accra.
Asante Kotoko, having recently secured their 10th MTN FA Cup title with a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Division One side Golden Kick on Sunday, June 15, 2025 at the University of Ghana Stadium, comes into the game confident of adding another trophy to their collection.
It was a historic and proud moment for the Porcupine Warriors, marking their first FA Cup triumph since 2017 and reaffirming their status as giants of Ghanaian football.
With confidence soaring and silverware already in hand, Kotoko approach the President’s Cup with renewed purpose and ambition.
The match offers a golden opportunity to add yet another prestigious title to their season and showcase, once again, the strength and legacy of the red army.
Accra Hearts of Oak come into the match full of motivation, with reports suggesting they’ll soon unveil a new technical team for the 2025/26 season, led by coach Didi Dramani.
With their fans right behind them and new leadership on the way, the Phobians will be looking to put on a strong performance and lift the trophy in front of the President and their home supporters.
This match will not only determine bragging rights; it will also crown one of these football giants with the honor of being personally awarded by the President.
It is a symbolic moment that ties the spirit of national pride with the passion of Ghanaian football.
As the nation prepares to gather in celebration, the only question left to ask is: Which team will President Mahama present the Trophy to?
