"It's About the Region, Not the Minister ":Hon. James Gunu Explains Volta Cup Rebrand

​The Regional Minister’s Cup has officially been rebranded as the Volta Cup ahead of its upcoming kickoff on August 15, 2026.

​Explaining the rationale behind the name change, Volta Regional Minister Hon. James Gunu highlighted the importance of creating an enduring legacy for local football. He noted that leaders will inevitably come and go, but the Volta Region endures—meaning the tournament should belong to the people, not the office holder.

​Calling on fans, community members, and sports partners to back the initiative, Hon. Gunu remarked: “This is not about one Regional Minister; it is about the Volta Region. Let us all own it and make it bigger.”

​All eyes now turn to August 15, 2026, when teams across the region hit the pitch to compete for the inaugural Volta Cup title.
