The Accra Sports Stadium is anticipated to be filled to capacity on August 17, 2025, when Accra Hearts of Oak face Kpando Hearts of Lions in the 2025 Gbese Mantse Homowo Peace Charity Cup.
High expectations for a massive turnout stem from an extensive and strategic awareness campaign led by esteemed sports administrator Sammy Anim Addo.
Since the campaign’s launch several weeks ago, Sammy Anim Addo and his team have undertaken a robust initiative to generate excitement for the match, including visits to key officials and targeted groups.
The team traveled to the Volta Region, engaging with prominent figures and institutions, including Volta Regional Minister James Gunu.
He praised Sammy Anim Addo and the delegation for organizing the event, which he believes significantly promotes peace and development.
Gunu pledged his full support and committed to assisting with the promotion and organization of the match.
The delegation also met with the Volta Regional Director of the Ghana Broadcasting Corporation (GBC), who offered the GBC’s regional platforms to enhance publicity and promotion for the game.
Killian Donkor, the Municipal Chief Executive of Kpando and an ardent sports enthusiast, urged Kpando Hearts of Lions to defeat Hearts of Oak and claim the trophy.
He vowed to mobilize supporters from the Volta Region to fill the Accra Sports Stadium and rally behind the Lions for victory.
Anim Addo and his delegation also sought the blessings and support of traditional rulers in Kpando for the match scheduled for August 17, 2025.
Prior to the Volta Region visit, the organizers met with Osman Ayariga, CEO of the National Youth Authority, who promised to “paint the stadium green” with supporters from the National Democratic Congress’s Green Army.
Additionally, they presented the prestigious trophy to the management of both competing teams and other institutions.
