The annual President’s Cup competition, played on Republic Day, is set to come off later today.
The nation’s two most storied sides, Accra Hearts of Oak and Kumasi Asante Kotoko, clash in a fierce head to head for the right to cart home the glittering trophy.

The pair met in the same fixture for last year’s President’s Cup, Hearts of Oak winning on penalties after a goalless draw in regulation time.
Hearts, who recently parted ways with Japanese trainer Kenichi Yatsuhashi, would be hoping for a repeat of the feat, whilst the Asante Kotoko would be in search for revenge.
In their only meeting so far this season, the Porcupine Warriors won the Super Clash 1-0 in Accra.
The game kicks off at 1500 GMT.
