Ghanaian giants, Accra Hearts of Oak will face Kpando Hearts of Lions in the 2024 Homowo Charity Cup match scheduled for August 11, 2024.
The topflight rivals will use the game as a preparatory match ahead of the upcoming campaign while proceeds from the game will be given to charity.
The match will also be used to promote peace, especially with the 2024 election set for December.
The Homowo Charity Cup match, which is an annual game held during the period of the Homowo festival is usually played between Hearts of Oak and Great Olympics.
However, organisers of the Cup match have confirmed that this year’s game will see the Phobians face Heart of Lions.
“Invitation received and accepted for the Gbese Mantse Homowo Cup, set to kick off on August 11, 2024, at Accra Sports Stadium! Get ready for a thrilling celebration of football and culture,” wrote Hearts confirming their participation.
The Accra-based club will be seeking redemption after losing the
Democracy Cup to fierce rivals Asante Kotoko on July 17, 2024.
Both clubs have started pre-season and have also been active in the transfer market as they look to beef up their squads.
