The Ghana League Clubs Association (GHALCA) will officially launch the 2025 President’s Cup today, Thursday, June 12, 2025, at its Secretariat in Accra.
The annual match, held in honour of the sitting President of Ghana, is a key fixture on the local football calendar—blending pageantry, rivalry, and national pride.
At the launch, GHALCA is expected to reveal full details of the event, including matchday plans, sponsorship packages, and fan engagement activities.
This year’s showdown will rekindle the historic rivalry between Asante Kotoko and Hearts of Oak, Ghana’s two most decorated football clubs. While the venue is yet to be confirmed, anticipation is already high for what promises to be another classic encounter.
The 2025 edition is being staged in honour of President John Dramani Mahama, who returned to office following the 2024 general elections. The event aims to foster national unity through the power of sport.
The President’s Cup has evolved from a ceremonial game into a fiercely competitive and symbolic event, often attended by high-profile dignitaries. In 2024, the tournament went international as ASEC Mimosas of Ivory Coast defeated Asante Kotoko in Kumasi, in a match attended by Presidents Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and Alassane Ouattara.
As the 2025 launch takes place, fans across the nation will be watching with excitement for what promises to be another unforgettable chapter in Ghana’s football story.
