Excitement reached fever pitch in Legon as the MTN FA Cup trophy made its grand arrival at the University of Ghana Stadium ahead of the highly anticipated final between Dreams FC and Nations FC.
The trophy’s arrival marked the beginning of what promises to be a memorable occasion for Ghanaian football, with fans streaming into the stadium hours before kickoff to witness the climax of the 2025/26 MTN FA Cup campaign.
This year’s final carries added significance as it is the first time the newly constructed University of Ghana Stadium has been chosen to host the showpiece event of Ghana’s premier knockout football competition. The state-of-the-art facility provides a fitting stage for a match that has captured the attention of football supporters across the country.
The final pits two ambitious sides against each other, each with its own unique motivation for lifting the coveted trophy.
Dreams FC enter the contest as one of the country’s most experienced knockout teams, aiming to add another major title to their growing list of achievements. The club will rely on its experience and proven ability to perform under pressure as it seeks to reclaim the prestigious trophy.
Standing in their way is a Nations FC side enjoying a remarkable season. The club has produced a historic run to reach its first-ever MTN FA Cup final and arrives full of confidence after a series of impressive performances throughout the competition. Victory would not only secure the club’s maiden FA Cup title but also further establish Nations FC as one of the emerging forces in Ghanaian football.
The stakes could hardly be higher.
In addition to the prestige of winning one of Ghana’s most celebrated football trophies and claiming a significant cash prize supported by headline sponsor MTN Ghana, the winning team will secure qualification for next season’s CAF Confederation Cup.
The continental ticket offers an opportunity to compete against some of Africa’s top clubs and represent Ghana on the international stage, making the final even more significant for both teams.
As anticipation continues to build, the atmosphere around the University of Ghana Stadium has become increasingly electric. Fans from both clubs have descended on the venue in large numbers, creating a vibrant and colorful spectacle ahead of kickoff.
With the trophy now in place and the stage fully set, all eyes are on Dreams FC and Nations FC as they prepare to battle for glory in what promises to be a historic MTN FA Cup final.
