The return encounter of the Ghana @60 Years on Cup match between Asante Kotoko and Hearts of Oak is set to come off at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium on Sunday December 24, GHANAsoccernet.com can exclusively confirm.

The duel which was originally billed to come off on May 28 at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium was called off after the Ghana Football Association failed to sanction the match due to the outfit's tight schedules as the Ghana Premier League was then in full flow.

The game will be the fifth clash between the two most glamorous clubs in the country following their two engagements in the Ghana Premier League, where the Asante Kotoko picked just a point against their old adversaries' four in the two round of league games.

The Porcupine Warriors, however, dealt a telling blow to their rivals when they walloped them 3-1 in the finals of the MTN FA Cup at the Tamale Sports Stadium.

Meanwhile, the Phobians will go into the Ghana@ 60 Years on game with a healthy 3-1 advantage over their rivals and hope to clinch the trophy to conciliate their supporters after their disappointing finish to the season when the two sides do battle at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium.

Both teams were given GHC 50,000 each in appearance fees and will receive the same amounts for the return leg.

The overall winner will get a trophy which will be presented by the President.

The match will be attended by the President Nana Akuffo-Addo and other dignitaries.
