The Ashanti Regional Minister, Dr. Frank Amoakohene, has promised a $1,000 cash reward to each Asante Kotoko player if they emerge victorious in the upcoming President’s Cup clash against Hearts of Oak on Sunday.
In addition, the Minister has pledged an extra $200 for every goal scored by the Porcupine Warriors in the highly anticipated fixture, which is set to take place at the Accra Sports Stadium.
The incentive package is aimed at motivating the players and boosting morale as the Kumasi-based giants prepare for a fierce showdown against their arch-rivals.
The annual President’s Cup is not only a celebration of the sitting president but also one of the most passionate rivalries in African football.
Dr. Amoakohene’s gesture underlines the strong political and regional support for Kotoko, especially given the symbolic importance of the match in Ashanti Region.
The promise of financial rewards adds another layer of excitement to what is already expected to be a pulsating and high-stakes encounter between two of Ghana’s most decorated clubs.
