Agona Swedru is set to become the heartbeat of Ghanaian football this weekend as the town hosts both MTN FA Cup semifinal matches and the Malta Guinness Women’s Premier League final in a packed three-day football spectacle.
The action begins on Friday, April 17, with Aduana FC taking on Nations FC in the first FA Cup semifinal. Aduana will be guided by coach Cioba Arista as they look to overcome a determined Nations FC side managed by Frimpong Manso, with both teams chasing a coveted place in the final.
On Saturday, April 18, Dreams FC—winners of the 2023/24 edition—will lock horns with two-time champions Medeama SC in the second semifinal. Both sides arrive with strong cup pedigree and a shared ambition of adding another FA Cup trophy to their history.
The football excitement will then shift to the women’s game on Sunday, April 19, when the Malta Guinness Women’s Premier League final takes centre stage at the same venue. Record champions Hasaacas Ladies, with five titles to their name, will face fierce rivals Ampem Darkoa Ladies, who have lifted the trophy four times. The fixture also carries a recent history, with Hasaacas Ladies defeating Ampem Darkoa in the 2023/24 final, while Ampem Darkoa had previously edged them in the 2022/23 showdown.
The Ghana Football Association’s decision to centralise these major fixtures in Agona Swedru highlights its ongoing effort to spread top-level football across the country. For fans in the Central Region town, it presents a rare opportunity to witness elite men’s and women’s football action in one thrilling weekend.
With three high-stakes matches lined up, Swedru is set to transform into a true festival of football, where trophies, pride, and history will all be on the line.
