Asante Kotoko SC and Medeama SC will join forces to represent Ghana in the 2024 Capital City Africa Cup in Washington, DC, Sportblog247.com has exclusively learned.

The two top-tier Ghanaian clubs will merge their squads for an international friendly against Major League Soccer (MLS) side, DC United. This eagerly awaited match is set to take place on Saturday, October 12, 2024, at Audi Field in Washington, DC.

The game, part of the larger Ghana Week DC 2024 celebration, is being organized by the Ghana Tourism Authority (GTA) in collaboration with the Ghana Football Association (GFA). Ghana Week DC, which runs from October 7-12, celebrates Ghanaian culture and heritage in the United States, with this fixture serving as one of its highlight events.

Initially, Asante Kotoko was set to compete alone, but visa challenges impacted many of their players’ ability to travel. Medeama SC, having participated in last year’s ceremonial game and with players who hold valid US visas, stepped in to strengthen the combined team.

The joint Kotoko-Medeama squad is scheduled to depart for the USA on Wednesday, October 9, 2024, in preparation for the much-anticipated encounter.
