Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko will square off in Accra for the 2022 President’s Cup today, Friday, March 4.

The two most glamourous clubs in the country will face off again at the Accra Sports Stadium after their clash in the first round of the 2021/22 Ghana Premier League ended in a pulsating scoreless draw.

Ghana’s President Nana Akufo-Addo will grace the occasion and will kick start the game with the ceremonial kick-off and also honour the teams after the game with medals.
