Women Democracy Cup 2026 fixed for July 31

Accra will host the inaugural Women Democracy Cup on Friday, July 31, at the McDan Park in La. This event is set to feature a high-profile match between two of Ghana's leading women's football clubs: Army Ladies and Police Ladies.

The cup is a key component of the Democracy Cup Project, an initiative launched by the Parliament of Ghana under the leadership of Mr. Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin. Alongside the main women's final, a curtain-raiser match will be played between Parliament Ladies and Judicial Service Ladies, showcasing further engagement from state institutions.

Vice President Naana Jane Opoku Agyemang is expected to attend as the Special Guest of Honour, with other dignitaries including women leaders in Parliament and heads of key institutions like the National Commission on Civic Education and the Electoral Commission also gracing the occasion. The event aims to recognize and celebrate the vital role women play in Ghana's democratic processes.

The Democracy Cup Project encompasses three major competitions, including the Democracy Youth Cup and the flagship Democracy Cup match between Accra Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko. The Women Democracy Cup is intended to become an annual fixture, reinforcing its commitment to highlighting women's contributions to Ghanaian democracy.
