True Democracy has been a revelation in the 2024/25 MTN FA Cup, marking their debut appearance in the quarterfinals.
The Tema-based club, which secured promotion to the Access Bank Division One League this season, has captured attention with their impressive Cup performances, eliminating former champions FC Nania and Dreams FC along the way.
Road to the Quarterfinals
Despite struggling in the Access Bank Division One League, where they trail Zone Three leaders Hohoe United by 18 points, True Democracy has been a formidable force in the FA Cup. Their campaign began with a commanding 2-0 victory over Kwahu Rangers in the preliminary round, followed by successive wins against Koforidua Sempe FI, 2023 champions Dreams FC, and 2010/11 winners FC Nania.
A blend of experienced players and emerging talents has been crucial to their success. Seasoned campaigners such as Daniel Egyin, Kenneth Owusu, and Martey Mahama have provided leadership, while young prospects including Abraham Odonkor, Adjei Martei, George Anderson, and Amin Abdul Basit have delivered standout performances.
Quarterfinal Clash Against Asante Kotoko

Asante Kotoko enters the contest in fine form, boasting a potent attack led by returnee Kwame Poku. Their squad depth is further bolstered by key players such as Justice Blay, Samuel Tenedu, Lord Amoah, Saaka Dauda, Emmanuel Antwi, and captain Frederick Asare, all available for selection.
