Management has confirmed Kotoko’s participation in the 2016 Presidential Cup match against arch rivals Hearts of Oak at the Accra Sports Stadium on July 1.
General Manager, Opoku Nti, in a brief interview with Asantekotokosc.com, disclosed that, the Porcupines would honour the cup game. “The match is going to be in honour of the President. We’ve confirmed our participation. Kotoko will be in Accra for it with the objective of winning” said Opoku Nti.
The Republic Day Super Clash will thus be coming off almost two months after the sworn rivals clashed in a league fixture in Accra on May 2. Kotoko triumphed over Hearts in that particular game by a lone goal.
If the fixtures for the second round of the 2015/16 Premier League are to be taken as they are, the Republic Day Super Clash will be played only nine days before the two teams meet again at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi for their second league fixture.
