Asante Kotoko gears up to face Ivorian side ASEC Memosas in the upcoming 2024 President’s Cup. The Ghana League Clubs Association (GHALCA) has successfully brokered an agreement between the two football powerhouses for this prestigious one-off game.
Scheduled for March 5, 2024, the clash will unfold at the revered Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi. Notably, reports indicate that there will be no gate fees charged for spectators eager to witness the spectacle.
Asante Kotoko, determined to reclaim glory, has faced setbacks in the last two editions, succumbing to arch-rivals Hearts of Oak. The Reds, buoyed by the advantage of playing on their home turf, aim to secure victory and erase the memory of their 2019 triumph.
The President’s Cup, an annual fixture orchestrated by GHALCA, serves as a tribute to the sitting president of Ghana. With an illustrious history, Asante Kotoko stands as the most successful club in the competition, having clinched the coveted trophy eight times. However, their perennial rivals, Hearts of Oak, aren’t far behind, boasting six triumphs in this prestigious tournament. As the stage is set, football enthusiasts eagerly await the clash between these two titans, anticipating a riveting contest for the coveted President’s Cup.
