GHALCA negotiating with GFA, Gov't over 2023 President's Cup date

Published on: 16 February 2023

The President of the Ghana League Clubs Association (GHALCA), Cudjoe Fianoo, says they are negotiating with the Ghana Football Association and government on the date, time, and format for the 2023 President's Cup fixture.

He disclosed that they have proposed the league game between Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko be used for this year's coronation game.

The Ghana Premier League round 20 encounter is scheduled to take place on March 5 and is likely to be used for the President's Cup as well.

"As I speak with you now, we are considering two different dates," Fianoo told Akoma FM.

"Last year, the game was honored on 4th March. This year, we wrote to the FA and proposed the 3rd of March for it. The FA drew our attention to the fact that, there is a league game between Kotoko and Hearts on the 5th of March 2023.

"Fans have been complaining about playing Kotoko versus Hearts games too many times within a given year, so we have proposed a format that will see the Kotoko versus Hearts league game double as the President Cup as well.

"But we are yet to reach an agreement with the FA and government on this.

"Since this year's celebration will be held in Volta Region, we are deliberating on all these options regarding date, venue and format."
