Ghana Football Association (GFA) President Kurt Okraku has expressed strong intentions to establish the University of Ghana (UG) Stadium as the permanent venue for the MTN FA Cup final. He made this announcement during his address at the FA Cup trophy presentation, attended by high-ranking officials from the University of Ghana, including Pro Vice Chancellor (Academic and Students Affairs) Professor Gordon Awandare and Acting UG Director of Sports Dr. Bella Bello Bitugu.
Nsoatreman FC and Bofoakwa Tano are set to clash in this year’s FA Cup final on Sunday, June 23 at the UG Stadium. According to the GFA President, there are ongoing plans to continue hosting the prestigious event at this venue in the future.
“Thank you very much for opening up your facility to us. We believe that the University of Ghana will always be a strategic partner to the Ghana Football Association in our determination or in our attempt to develop football. Beyond this exercise, we intend to engage you more. In fact, we intend to make this facility the permanent home of this fixture.”
He further mentioned that both teams have pledged to deliver an excellent game of football on Sunday.
