MLS side D.C. United and Ghana Week DC have announced changes to the upcoming Capital City Africa Cup scheduled for Saturday, October 12, 2024.
Due to visa issues affecting some Asante Kotoko players, additional players from other Ghana Premier League teams will be included in the roster, forming a team now labeled as the “Ghana Week DC Select Side.”
The Ghana Week DC Select Side will feature seven players from Asante Kotoko’s first team, two players from Attram De Visser FC, and top Ghanaian players currently based in the U.S.
This highly anticipated match, which is the centerpiece of the DC Ghana Week celebrations, is part of a broader initiative to promote Ghanaian tourism, culture, and sports in the Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia (DMV) area. The week-long celebration strengthens the ties between Ghana, the U.S., and the African diaspora, fostering cultural exchange and unity.
The match will take place on Saturday, October 12, at Audi Field at 6:00 p.m. ET, with D.C. United facing off against the Ghana Week DC Select Side. Tickets for the event are available for purchase.
