Story:John Kofi Bigwig Arthur

Golden Kick Sporting Club has etched its name into Ghanaian football history by becoming the third Division One League side to reach the final of the prestigious MTN FA Cup. Competing from Zone 3 of the Access Bank Division One League, Golden Kick's remarkable run sees them follow in the footsteps of fellow Zone 3 clubs—FC Nania (2011) and Okwawu United (2016).

The upcoming final, scheduled for June 15, 2025, will be played at the University of Ghana Stadium and pits Golden Kick against giants Asante Kotoko Sporting Club. It brings back memories of 2011, when Kotoko suffered a surprise defeat to Division One side FC Nania in the final—a stark reminder of the unpredictability of cup football.

Golden Kick’s journey to the final adds a fresh chapter to the legacy of underdog success in Ghana’s FA Cup, and all eyes will be on whether they can replicate Nania’s famous triumph.
