The Association has provided trophies, medals, and plaques for the winners and award-winning categories, as well as footballs for the competition, a commitment that continues this season.

Former Asante Kotoko skipper Godwin Ablordey, Yaw Akoto, Nicholas Addo and Sabashi who previously featured for Accra Hearts of Oak will remind their fans of their good old days.
