The second edition of the Democracy Cup will now be held at the University of Ghana Stadium, following a change in venue and date announced by Parliament.
Originally slated for August 29 at the Accra Sports Stadium, the fixture has been rescheduled to September 5 and will see Accra Hearts of Oak lock horns with city rivals Accra Great Olympics.
The Democracy Cup, an initiative of Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin, uses football as a platform to promote the values of democracy, unity, and civic engagement.
Explaining the decision, Parliament stated, “The decision to reschedule was made after careful consideration to ensure optimal facilities, security, and a premier experience for spectators, players, and supporters nationwide.
“The University of Ghana Sports Stadium offers premier amenities and a capacious environment to host this high-profile contest in the spirit of fair play, sportsmanship, and peaceful civic engagement.”
Last year’s inaugural edition was held at the Accra Sports Stadium, where Asante Kotoko narrowly defeated Hearts of Oak to lift the trophy.
