2022 President’s Cup: Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko to each get GHS 50,000 and 25% of gate proceeds
Accra Hearts of Oak and Kumasi Asante Kotoko will battle it out for this year’s President’s Cup. The two teams are set to rake in 50,000 Ghana cedis each as appearance fee plus 25% each of the gate proceeds.
The President’s Cup which is played to honour the sitting Ghanaian president every year, will occur at the Accra Sports Stadium with a late kick off.
Originally, the President’s Cup was played on Ghana’s Republic Day, 1st July, but this year’s edition has been rescheduled to take place on March 4, 2022, two weeks after the two sides battled it out for supremacy in the Ghana Premier League.

Ghana League Clubs Association (GHALCA), organisers of the match, announced on Tuesday that both teams will share GHS 100,000 and 25% each of gate proceeds, with GHALCA taking 50%.
“Football is all about business and at the same time to bring us together. So, the two clubs will take an appearance fee of 50,000 cedis each and then the gate proceeds will be shared,” GHALCA boss Kudjoe Finaoo told Akoma FM.
“GHALCA as organizers will take 50% and the two clubs will share take 25% each of the remaining 50%. There will be a trophy and other medals”, he added.
President Nana Addo Dankwah Akufo-Addo will grace the occasion with the duty of performing the ceremonial kick off and also see to the decoration of players with medals after the match.
Kotoko are the last winners of the one off match as they beat Hearts to be crowned champions in 2019.
