Rt. Hon. Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin, the Speaker of Parliament, and the leadership of parliament will launch the maiden Democracy Cup on Thursday, June 13, at the Justice D.F. Annan Auditorium, Parliament House in Accra.

The Democracy Cup has been instituted by Parliament to commemorate 30 years of Parliamentary Democracy in Ghana. The launch will be attended by Members of Parliament, the media, and officials of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), the Ghana League Clubs Association (GHALCA), and other stakeholders.

Accra Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko will compete for the inaugural edition of the competition on Friday, July 5, 2024, at the Accra Sports Stadium. The winner of the match between the two premier league sides will have the opportunity to play against United States-based club, DC United in Washington later in the year.

There will also be a special curtain raiser between Members of Parliament and former Black Stars players.

Parliament celebrated its 30th anniversary last year, following the coming into effect of the 1992 Constitution and the return of the country to a democratic system of governance. Other activities earmarked to commemorate the anniversary include parliamentary sittings and debates, peace walks, and fun games.
