2019 President’s Cup postponed due to soggy pitch

The 2019 President’s Cup match between Asante Kotoko and Hearts of Oak has been rescheduled  due to a waterlogged pitch.

The match started but after about 10 minutes, the organisers decided that the match could not continue due to the soggy nature of the pitch at the Baba Yara Stadium.

There were heavy rains in Kumasi about 3 hours before kick-off and it turned out that the surface could not handle the volumes of water and that had a bearing on the match.

The match referee, Bernard Domfeh, decided with the authorities to call the match off and it will be played at a later date which will be confirmed by the organisers.

For Kotoko, they have stated that they will only be available after they face Etoile de Sahel in the CAF Champions League qualifiers.

The first leg of the match is on September 15 at the Baba Yara with the second leg set for two weeks after that.

What is unclear is whether the Reds will play against
