The Ghana FA Cup Committee’s decision to stage the MTN FA Cup quarterfinals at the Nana Fosu Gyeabour Park in Bechem and the Cape Coast Stadium is primarily aimed at drawing strong fan attendance, particularly from clubs in the Bono region.
Chairman of the FA Cup Committee, Wilson Arthur, explained that the move is intended to keep a significant portion of the fixtures within reach of supporters whose teams have progressed to the last eight.
Three clubs from the Bono region, Aduana FC, Techiman Liberty Youth and Berekum Chelsea, remain in the competition. Arthur noted that relocating their matches to distant venues could reduce fan participation and create unnecessary challenges for the teams.
“There are three Bono teams in the quarter-final. If we move the games to a different location, it will worry them,” Arthur said on Asempa FM. “That’s why the games will be played in Bechem and Cape Coast so the patronage will be good.”
The arrangement keeps two matches closer to the Bono region at the Nana Fosu Gyeabour Park, a venue expected to attract large travelling support from the clubs and surrounding communities.
The Cape Coast Stadium will host the other two fixtures and serve as a neutral ground for teams based in other parts of the country.
The quarterfinals are scheduled for March 13 to 16, 2026. Aduana FC will face Techiman Liberty Youth, while Nations FC take on Berekum Chelsea in Bechem. In Cape Coast, Dreams FC will meet Heart of Lions, with Attram De Visser playing Medeama SC.
