The Ghana Football Association has offered football fans across the country, the opportunity to witness Sunday’s Super Cup match between league champions AshantiGold and MTN FA Cup winners Medeama SC for free at the Accra Sports Stadium.
The Super Cup is played between winners of the league and Telecommunications network sponsored competition, the MTN FA Cup annually as the curtain raiser to usher in the football fever.
And The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has decided to open the gates for free to the public for the match scheduled for Sunday February 7.
According to the Communication Director of the Ghana Football Association, Ibrahim Saani Daara, the decision of the GFA to open the gates for free is to show appreciation to the football fraternity for their support.
“Over the past few months we have been debating how we can show our appreciation to the fans for the support they have given local football,” Ghana FA spokesman Ibrahim Sannie Daara said.
“We had different suggestions on how we can show our appreciation to the fans. One of the key ideas was the suggestion that we make this gesture and we thought its was great idea.
“So we are calling on supporters of all the clubs in Ghana, the various supporter groups and the ordinary football fans to come to the stadium on Sunday and enjoy this game for free.”
The two clubs will be representing Ghana in CAF inter-club football competitions, CAF Confederation Cup and Champions League after winning the league and FA Cup respectively.
It will be an opportunity for both technical benches to test their readiness for Africa as well the Ghana Premier League which will begin later this month.
Ashantigold will host Algerian side MO Bejaia in their Champions League match on Sunday February 14, and will play Medeama SC again in their opening league fixture at the Obuasi Len Clay stadium.
Whereas Medeama SC will begin their Confederation Cup campaign against either Ittihad of Libya or AS Sonidep of Niger.
