MTN FA Cup semi-final venues set
Asante Kotoko vs Berekum Chelsea
One of the most anticipated encounters in the MTN FA Cup semi-final is the match between Asante Kotoko and Berekum Chelsea. Both teams have been in impressive form and will be looking to secure a spot in the final.
Asante Kotoko, one of Ghana's most successful domestic football clubs, earned their place in the semi-finals after a hard-fought 2-1 victory over True Democracy at the Kumasi Baba Yara Stadium.
The match was a showcase of Kotoko's resilience and determination, with goals from their key players, including Kwame Poku, proving to be the difference. Despite a spirited performance from True Democracy, Kotoko's superior quality ultimately saw them through to the next round.
On the other hand, Berekum Chelsea emerged victorious in a thrilling quarter-final against Bchem United. In a closely contested match, Chelsea triumphed 1-0, thanks to a well-taken goal from Stephen Amankona in the 30th minute.
The match was a tactical battle, and Chelsea showed their composure under pressure, with their defence holding firm and their attack clinical.
They will now look to cause an upset and knock out the mighty Kotoko to reach the final as Amankona looks to keep his status as one of the local players Otto Addo considers in his next Black Stars selections.
Attram De Visser vs Golden Kick
In the second semi-final, Attram De Visser will face off against Golden Kick in what promises to be another exciting match. Both teams have been impressive in their respective campaigns, and this game could go either way.
Attram De Visser has had a solid run in the competition, and they will be aiming to take advantage of their momentum to make it to the final. With a mix of experienced players and promising talent, they have displayed their ability to compete with the best teams in the country.
Attram's disciplined approach to the game, combined with their attacking flair, has seen them reach the semi-finals, and they will be eager to prove their worth in the next stage.
Golden Kick, however, will not be an easy opponent. The team has been in fine form and reached the semi-finals after an exhilarating penalty shootout victory over GPL side Karela United.
The match ended 0-0 after normal time, and Golden Kick triumphed 5-3 in the penalty shootout. Their resilience and composure under pressure in the shootout demonstrated their mental strength and determination.
Golden Kick would be confident heading into the match against Attram De Visser, knowing that they have the grit and skill to go all the way.
The road to Tarkwa TnA Stadium
For all four teams, reaching the semi-finals of the MTN FA Cup has been a journey filled with challenges, triumphs, and unforgettable moments.
The competition has showcased the strength and passion of Ghanaian football, and the semi-finals will be no different.

With two intriguing matchups on the horizon, with the exact date yet to be confirmed, fans are in for a treat as Asante Kotoko, Berekum Chelsea, Attram De Visser, and Golden Kick all vie for a place in the final.
The MTN FA Cup has already provided plenty of drama, and the semi-finals are set to raise the level of excitement to new heights.
One area of interest is Chelsea's Amankona, who failed to impress at Asante Kotoko a couple of seasons ago.
The attacking player has rediscovered his form at his former side, netting 10 goals in the 2023/25 Ghana Premier League after 23 rounds of games and scoring the only goal in his side's 1-0 win over Bechem in the cup competition.
It remains to be seen how Amakona will do against his former Porcupine Warriors team in this massive FA Cup semi-final clash.
