President Cup: Hearts of Oak confirm date with arch-rivals Asante Kotoko

Ghana's two biggest clubs, Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko, are set for a showdown on September 9, the former have confirmed.

The two sides will rekindle their rivalry in a one-off cup fixture - the President Cup - in honour of the sitting President of the West African nation Nana Akufo-Addo.

Unlike previous editions mostly hosted in Accra, this year's fixture is set for Kumasi's Baba Yara Sports Stadium.

"The Management [of Accra Hearts of Oak Sporting Club Limited] is pleased to inform our teaming supporters that it has agreed to honour the 2019 President Cup match against Kumasi Asante Kotoko at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium on Sunday, September 8, 2019," Hearts revealed in a press release on Monday.
