2023 GHALCA Top 4 tournament to kick off on August 6 in Kumasi

The GHALCA Top 4 tournament, one of Ghana’s major off-season competitions, is set to take place from August 6th to August 13th, 2023.

The Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi has been chosen as the venue for the 2023 edition of the Ghana League Club Association (GHALCA) top-four tournament.

GHALCA has decided to host the matches in Kumasi due to its close proximity. Kudjoe Fianoo, the head of GHALCA, has confirmed that the organization will stick to the top 4 format after experimenting with other formats like top 6 and top 8 in the past.

The participating teams in the tournament will include Medeama, who were crowned champions of the 2022-23 Ghana Premier League, as well as Aduana Stars, who finished in second place. Bechem United and Asante Kotoko, who secured the fourth position in the league, will also compete in the tournament.

These games will serve as a pre-season tournament for the clubs ahead of the upcoming 2023/24 Ghana Premier League, which is scheduled to commence in September.

In the previous season, Great Olympics emerged as the champions of the GHALCA Top 4 tournament, which was held at the Accra Sports Stadium.
