Asante Kotoko will chase their tenth FA Cup title when they cross swords with lower-division side Golden Kick FC in a crunchy final at the University of Ghana Stadium
The Porcupine Warriors are a household name in the competition and will look to replicate what they did the last time they were in the FA Cup final where they won 3-1 over bitter rivals Hearts of Oak
However, Golden Kick FC are highly motivated heading into the game and have pledged to give their all to win the trophy and get their name in the history books
MATCH PREVIEW
The Blue-Reds have been the best team in the competition so far to many, having taken down two topflight clubs en route to the final including grand masters Hearts of Oak via penalty shootouts in round 16
They subsequently took down another Premier League side in Karela United also via penalties in the last eight before humbling Attram de Visser by 3-1 to punch their ticket to the final
On the other hand, Asante Kotoko have also been very impressive having won all their matches via open play so far in the league cup signifying how dominant they have been in all matches
After taking down both Future Stars and Accele8z FC with 2-0 wins each, the Reds took out Eleven Wise narrowly before nipping on Kwame Opoku's late goal to edge True Democracy to reach the last four.
It was really a very difficult task in the semi-final where they faced a topflight side for the first time in the competition and Albert Amoah's second half header was enough to hand them a narrow 1-0 win over Berekum Chelsea in Tarkwa to cruise into final
Golden Kick FC have netted seven goals in six matches in the main competition having conceded three while Asante Kotoko have scored eight in five outings and conceded only one in their road to final - exhibiting how strong they have been in both defense and attack
TEAM NEWS
Both teams have no any major injury concerns at their disposal and will have a full strength squad for the game.
Golden Kick coach Fiifi Hanson is playing his first final and will really want to have his hands gripped to the trophy to signify how good he's been to many a Ghanaian football faithful
Abdul Karim Zito, however, won the competition in the 2022/23 season with Dreams FC and is very poised to clinch it for the second time
