The Ghana Military High Command received the Democracy Cup trophy on Monday, just days before the third edition of the tournament is set to kick off at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium on Friday. The delegation visiting the military headquarters included Parliament's Clerk Ebenezer Ahumah Djietror and former Ghana national football team player John Mensah, who serves as an ambassador for the competition.
Djietror formally invited the Chief of Defence Staff, Lieutenant General William Agyapong, and the Ghana Armed Forces to participate in the event, which aims to promote democratic governance through football. The CDS pledged the military's full support and participation in the tournament, emphasizing the institution's diverse capabilities and its commitment to maintaining Ghana's territorial integrity and democratic governance process.
Agyapong reassured that the military would be present at the stadium, though not in uniform, and pledged their support for the event. The main match will feature Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko, with the defending champions Kotoko having claimed victory in the inaugural game against Hearts in 2025. The cup tour also included a curtain-raiser match between a Parliamentary team and a Judiciary team.
