Former Black Stars captain Stephen Appiah has confirmed he will feature in the fifth edition of the All Star Festival, which takes place on July 11 at the University of Ghana Sports Stadium.
The ex-Ghana international said he was looking forward to returning for the annual event, praising its growth and the strong support it continues to receive from former footballers.
"Every year, the players keep showing up. That means they are happy with what is being done and enjoy being part of it," Appiah said.
"This year, I will definitely be there. It's always a great atmosphere, and it's an opportunity to connect with the fans and fellow players."
The All Star Festival has become one of Ghana's biggest off-season football events, bringing together retired footballers, active players, celebrities and supporters for a day of sport and entertainment.
BAC Group Chief Executive Dr Ernest Koranteng said the festival has grown beyond a football exhibition, describing it as a platform that connects different generations within the game.
"It's all about entertainment. We have to entertain and show ourselves to the public. It's also an opportunity to mingle with the younger players and continue building relationships within the football fraternity," he said.
This year's programme will feature a football clinic for children, a dedicated kids' playground, the Sports Business Series and the traditional All Star Game. Fans will also witness a schools' showdown between PRESEC and Accra Academy, while vendors and exhibitors are expected to add to the festival atmosphere.
The 2026 All Star Festival will be held on Saturday, July 11, at the University of Ghana Sports Stadium. Tickets are available through Egotickets, with regular admission priced at GH¢20 and premium access at GH¢100.
