The 2024 edition of the Division One League (DOL) Super Cup is set to commence on July 29 following a meeting between the Committee for the competition and all the qualified clubs earlier this week.
The meeting was held to finalise key details to ensure a smooth and successful tournament.
Chairman of the Committee, former Black Stars captain and Asante Kotoko legend, Samuel Opoku Nti, welcomed all the Committee members and the participating clubs, expressing optimism that the upcoming competition would be successful.
“I’m extremely excited that all the participating clubs are here. This shows readiness for the competition and I believe after today’s meeting, every club will intensify their preparations for the tournament,” he noted.
The competition features all the winners from the three Division One League zones, their runners-up, and the best third-placed sides, ensuring a high level of competition and excitement.
The meeting covered several critical issues including the format and structure of the competition as well as finalizing the rules and guidelines that will govern the tournament.
The group draw as well as the fixtures for the tournament were also conducted to set the tone for an exciting competition.
Clubs were briefed on the deadline for submitting their squad lists and the strips they will use during the tournament. The deadline for these submissions is July 24, 2024.
With members of the Marketing Department of the FA present at the meeting, strategies for promoting the tournament and ensuring effective branding at the venues were also touched on.
Plans for the opening and closing ceremonies for the tournament were also discussed as the DOL Super Cup Committee aims to ensure an organized start to the tournament.
The Ghana Football Association (GFA) will provide financial assistance to all participating clubs to help cover some of their expenses. This support aims to alleviate the financial burden on the clubs and ensure their full participation in the tournament.
The DOL Super Cup will kick off on July 29, 2024, and run until August 11, 2024.
The competition promises to be an exciting pre-season showcase of Ghanaian football talent, offering clubs an excellent opportunity to prepare for the upcoming season.
With the groups drawn and preparations well underway, anticipation is building for what promises to be a thrilling and competitive tournament.
