Mr. Ebenezer Ahumah Djietror, Deputy Clerk, Corporate and Financial Management, stated in a statement that the Democracy Cup was instituted as part of activities to commemorate Ghana's 30-year parliamentary democracy. 'The Democracy Cup series brought sports enthusiasts from all over the country towards fostering peace and unity before, during, and after the coming elections.

Asante Kotoko, who won the maiden Democra cy Cup match, are expected to play DC United in the United States of America later in the year. Source: Ghana News Agency
