The University of Ghana Sports Stadium in Legon has been chosen as the venue for this season’s FA Cup final. As the competition heads into the semifinals stage, football fans are in for an exciting weekend of matches.
The semifinals will kick off with Nsoatreman FC facing off against Legon Cities on Saturday, May 11, 2024, followed by Bofoakwa Tano taking on defending champions Dreams FC on Sunday, May 12, 2024, at the WAFA Park in Sogakope.
Wilson Arthur, Chairman of the FA Cup committee, confirmed to Akoma FM that the University of Ghana Sports Stadium will host this year’s final. “We had initially planned to hold the semifinals and finals at the Tarkwa TNA Stadium and Legon Stadium, respectively. However, the TNA stadium was not yet ready,” he explained.
After considering other options, including Sameraboi, the committee decided that Sogakope would be the best choice for the semifinals. However, the Legon Stadium has been selected as the venue for this year’s finals, with plans to continue using the location for future rounds, pending ExCo approval.
Dreams FC will be looking to defend their title after securing an Africa slot with a 2-0 victory over King Faisal in last year’s finals. The University of Ghana Sports Stadium, commissioned on March 2, 2024, has already proven its capabilities by successfully hosting matches during the Africa Games Men’s Football tournament held in Accra just two months ago.
With the stage set for an exciting climax to the FA Cup competition, football fans can look forward to thrilling matches and top-notch sporting action at the University of Ghana Sports Stadium in Legon.
