Everyone connected to both clubs feels the weight of this annual showdown.
The coach selected twenty players for the President's Cup battle against their traditional foes. All seven summer signings made the squad as Zito builds his strongest possible team. These new additions bring fresh energy and skills to help Kotoko compete at the highest level. The manager wants every available option when facing such dangerous opponents. Sunday's match could define the entire season for both proud football clubs.
