Sogakope

Sogakope, also spelled Sogakofe, is the capital of the South Tongu District in the Volta Region of Ghana. It is home to the lower Volta Bridge, which connects it to Sokpoe, and is mostly known for river tourism, mass bread production and bread baking. The bridge is also the site of the Tortsogbeza, an annual Easter festival of diving off the bridge, held with the neighbouring town of Sokpoe. Resorts include the Holy Trinity Spa, the Cisneros Villa Hotel, the Shekinah Glory Hotel and Sogakofe Beach Resort. The town has a district hospital, a senior high school and Comboni Technical School, and in 2014 the West African Football Academy moved there, hosting Premier League games against clubs such as Accra Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko. The international highway from Togo to Ivory Coast passes through it.
