Kumasi to host MTN FA Cup final

The Ghana FA has confirmed that the Kumasi Baba Yara Stadium will host year’s MTN FA Cup final.

The decision by the GFA Executive Council is aimed at spreading competitions across the country as a strategic move to Bring Back the Love from every region for the local game and national football teams.

The FA Cup enters the quarter final stage on Wednesday with a top liner between Aduana Stars and troubled King Faisal at the Nana Agyemang Badu I Park in Dormaa.

King Faisal go into this knockout game following struggles with poor form in the Ghana Premier League, after suffering six successive defeats since March 6, 2022, which led to the resignation of Coach Nurudeen Amadu on Sunday.

Interim Coach Abubakar Fatawu will be on the bench for King Faisal, which occupies the 13th spot on the GPL table.

In Wednesday’s other FA Cup fixtures, Bechem United host Tamale City at their fortress, the Nana Fosu Gyeabour Park while Kotoku Royals visit the Theatre of Dreams in Dawu to face Dreams FC.

At the Accra Sports Stadium on Thursday, home team Skyy FC will test their might against wounded lions and defending FA Cup champions Hearts of Oak, which recently suffered a painful 0-1 league defeat to Asante Kotoko in Kumasi.

The Phobians are in desperate need of victory against the Daboase based side to progress in the FA Cup and improve their only real chance of ending the season with a title after their GPL title ambitions recently suffered a jolt.
