Hearts of Oak refute reports of President Cup match against city rivals Great Olympics

Published on: 17 January 2019

Ghana Premier League giants Hearts of Oak have dismissed reports they have agreed to play the 2019 presidential Cup against rivals Great Olympics.

On Tuesday, the Dade Boys announced they will play this year's President's Cup in March against the Phobians.

"A statement signed by the Olympics PRO  said: ''The club would like to urge the fans to storm the Accra Sports Stadium in their blue and white colours on Wednesday 6th March, 2019 to cheer the boys on.''

However, an official statement from the Rainbow Club on Wednesday refuted having any knowledge of the existence of such agreement.

It belied what has earlier gone viral in the Ghanaian media.

"The management of @HeartsOfOakGH wishes to state that it has not agreed with any party to honour the 2019 President’s Cup Match against city rivals, @AccraGtOlympics as has been announced in the media, the phobians said in a tweet.
