Kotoko, the clear favourites, come into the final hungry for redemption after a challenging season that saw them miss out on the Premier League title for a third consecutive year.

Eager to claim their first-ever FA Cup title, Golden Kick will be aiming to pull off a major upset against the more experienced Kotoko side.
The final promises to be a thrilling end to the domestic season, with both teams aiming to make their mark and secure qualification for continental football. Kotoko’s pedigree and Golden Kick’s determination are set to deliver an encounter that will keep fans on the edge of their seats.
