This year’s fixture holds added excitement as entry to the stadium will be free of charge, an initiative designed to ensure football fans from all walks of life can partake in the country’s biggest club rivalry.
In addition to the football action, fans will be treated to a live performance from Shatta Wale, one of Africa’s biggest dancehall acts.
Known for his electric stagecraft and crowd-pulling appeal, Shatta Wale is expected to thrill fans at halftime and after the final whistle with a string of his popular hits.
His inclusion as the headline act adds a fresh entertainment layer to the already rich football tradition, reinforcing the President’s Cup as not just a football match, but a festival of Ghanaian sport, music, and culture.
