Organised by the Ghana League Clubs Association (Ghalca), theÂ match is set to return after a one-year absence.

The 2017 showdown - held in Accra - was also contested between Hearts and Kotoko and ended 4-1 in a penalty shootout in favour of the latter.

The Phobians and the Porcupine Warriors are the two most successful clubs in the history of the Ghana Premier League with 20 and 23 titles, respectively.Â Â
