Chairman of the Division One League (DOL) Super Cup Committee, Rabeh El-Eter, believes X1 Energy Drink’s decision to become the headline sponsor of the 2026 tournament will provide a major boost to the growth of Ghana’s domestic football.
The competition, scheduled to take place from August 10 to 18 at the Len Clay Stadium in Obuasi, is designed to prepare newly promoted Ghana Premier League clubs and other top-performing Division One sides for the upcoming season.
Now in its third edition, the eight-team tournament has established itself as an important pre-season competition, giving clubs the opportunity to build momentum while offering players a platform to showcase their abilities.
This year’s tournament will feature promoted clubs FC AshantiGold 04, Debibi United and Port City, all of whom will compete in the Ghana Premier League for the first time in their history. They will be joined by Tamale City, Semper Fi FC, Ebusua Dwarfs, Attram De Visser and Nsuopun Fidelity.
