ASEC Mimosas, the renowned Ivorian football club, faced a brief setback upon their initial arrival in Kumasi for the 2024 GHALCA President’s Cup.

A technical glitch prompted their return home after landing at Kumasi Airport on a chartered flight on Sunday. Fortunately, the issue was swiftly resolved, and they successfully landed on Monday afternoon.

During their brief stay in Ghana, ASEC Mimosas will be accommodated at the Lancaster Hotel.

The primary purpose of their visit is to participate in the President’s Cup against Asante Kotoko SC at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium on Tuesday, March 5, 2024.

This eagerly awaited match holds special significance as it is dedicated to both Ghana's President Nana Akufo-Addo and Ivorian President Alassane Ouattara, both expected to attend.

The event is intricately tied to Ghana's 67th Independence Day celebrations, amplifying its importance.

To ensure widespread access, the organizers have obtained approval from the Ghana Football Association, and the match will be broadcast live on the South African pay-TV channel SuperSport.
