“We are determined to end the season on a high note. We played well in the league but unfortunately, we couldn’t survive the drop. We still have a chance to prove our worth by winning the FA Cup. We are not only looking at winning the trophy but representing Ghana in next season’s CAF Confederations Cup is our biggest motivation,” he told Ghanafa.org.
On the other side, Nsoatreman FC secured their place in the final with a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Legon Cities in the semi-finals. Their dynamic and attacking style of play makes them a formidable opponent.

“For us, this is not just a final but a battle for a ticket to play in the CAF Confederations Cup next season. We are ready to give Ghanaians an exciting game on Sunday and cap it with a win to realise our dream. We know Bofo will not come easy but we can’t afford to let a ticket to the CAF Confederations Cup slip,” Maxwell noted.
The final, not only showcases the best of Ghanaian football but also emphasises the regional pride of the Bono Ahafo Region. Both teams have shown remarkable skill and tenacity to reach this stage, setting the stage for a thrilling encounter.
