The Democracy Cup organisers have announced a partnership with English Premier League side Sunderland, with the 2026 tournament champions earning a match against the English club. The announcement was made at a ceremony in Accra, Ghana, honouring sponsors and partners of the 2025 Democracy Cup.
The partnership highlights strong ties between Sunderland and Ghana, particularly through former Black Stars captain Asamoah Gyan, who played for the club. The Democracy Cup aims to promote peace and unity across Ghana, using football to foster democratic values ahead of the country’s general elections.
Hearts of Oak are the current holders of the trophy, having won the 2025 title. The Sunderland match will provide valuable exposure for domestic clubs on the world stage.
