Ghana League Clubs Association (GHALCA) chairman, Mr. Kudjoe Fianoo,  has said both Accra Hearts of Oak and Kumasi Asante Kotoko will each receive an amount of GHC50,000 as appearance fee for the 2017 edition of the Ghana@60 President’s Cup.

According to the GHALCA chairman, the amount would cater for the preparation of both clubs ahead of the competition slated for July 2, at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium.

”Before we leave here, we will give the cheques that covers the appearance fee to both competing clubs [Hearts and Kotoko] that is GHC50,000 each,” Fianoo said at the launch of the 2017 edition of the President’s Cup.

“This will enable them to prepare adequately in order to prevent issues on transportation and other expenditure that may be incurred ahead of the game.” Mr. Fianoo added.

This year’s competition will be the first in honour of the sitting President, Nana Akuffo-Addo and the first to be played at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium.

The first leg encounter of the Ghana@60 President’s Cup saw Accra Hearts of Oak defeated Kumasi Kotoko 3-1 at the Accra Sports Stadium.
