The Ghana Super Cup is a football competition involving a match played between the champion of the Ghana Premier League and the winner of the Ghanaian FA Cup in Ghana. The first Ghana Super Cup competition took place in the 1996–1997 season, after which there was a thirteen-year hiatus between the 1998 and 2010 seasons. Kumasi Asante Kotoko and Accra Hearts of Oak are the two most successful clubs in the competition's history.[1][2]

The current cup holders are Accra Hearts of Oak, champions of both the 2020-21 Ghana Premier League and the 2021 Ghanaian FA Cup.[2][3]
