Ashanti Regional Minister, Dr. Frank Amoakohene, has thrown his weight behind Asante Kotoko, urging them to defeat arch-rivals Hearts of Oak in this weekend’s 2025 President’s Cup.
The annual fixture, which honours the sitting President, this year President John Dramani Mahama, is scheduled for Sunday, July 6, at the Accra Sports Stadium.
Ahead of the match, Dr. Amoakohene visited the Porcupine Warriors at their Adako-Jachie base, accompanied by KMA Mayor Richard Ofori Agyemang Boadi (King Zuba), to offer support and motivation.
“We believe in you, and we know you will deliver for us… God willing, on Sunday, you will get the win for Asanteman,” he told the team.
Both Kotoko and Hearts have been active in the transfer market and are using the Cup match as a key test of readiness for the new season.
The Minister also promised assistance with supporter mobilisation to help Kotoko perform at their best.
Kickoff for the much-anticipated clash is set for 16:00 GMT at the Accra Sports Stadium, with pride, bragging rights, and silverware all on the line.
