Saddick, Cobbinah battle for 2017 MTN FA Cup MVP

When the 2017/18 MTN FA Cup awards are held at the M-Plaza Hotel, Roman Ridge, Accra on Wednesday night, all eyes will be on Asante Kotoko striker, Saddick Adams and Hearts of Oak player, Winful Cobbinah as the two and Isaac Amoah of Amidaus Professionals vie for the Most Valuable Player (MVP) award.

Opinions differ on who deserves the MVP accolade and it’s appears to be a straight fight between Saddick Adams and Winful Cobbinah with supporters of the club they play for rooting firmly behind them therefore leaving Isaac Amoah out of the whole discussion. Could Amoah spring a surprise or upstage Saddick and Cobbinah to win the MVP?

The above question and many others in the other categories is what will be answered at the event which is expected to draw all who matter in the country’s football. Chairman of the FA Cup committee, Kurt E. S. Okraku is promising the best of organisation and given how the competition itself was handled throughout last year, there’s absolutely no reason to doubt him.
