As part of the launch event, the draw for the competition was also conducted. Defending champions Adabraka Zongo will begin their title defence against Ashaley Botwe in Game 7 on the opening day, while Sabon Zongo will face Nsawam in the tournament’s opening fixture.
The tournament has also received support from Ghanaian internationals Mohammed Kudus and Kamaldeen Sulemana, who have pledged to contribute individual prizes for outstanding players and provide jerseys for the teams.
