Ghalca Reduce Fraud

The Ghana League Clubs Association says the introduction of electronic ticketing helped to reduce fraud at the gates during the President Cup match.

The new system helped the body to gross GH¢ 120,000 in the match between Hearts of Oak and rivals Asante Kotoko at the Accra Sports Stadium on 01 July.

According to GHALCA, 10,000 spectators paid to watch the match

The amount realized is woefully inadequate compared to the league match between the two sides back in March which grossed over GH¢ 500,000.

But GHALCA chairman Kudjoe Fianoo insists the association is satisfied with the amount.

“For the first time, I will say we are happy with the amount we received from the President’s Cup because of the measures we put in place to derive the maximum from the gates,” he said.

“What we got from the gates was a true reflection of the attendance.”

Kotoko Confirm President"s Cup Participation

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.
