Sekondi Stadium to host FA Cup final

Organisers of the MTN FA Cup have settled on the Sekondi Stadium as centre of attraction for the grand finale between holders Kumasi Asante Kotoko and former champions Medeama Sc.

The announcement was made on Tuesday after the FA Cup committee spent the last few weeks deliberating on the venue for the encounter.

Kotoko are seeking to defend the title after defeating Aduana Stars to reach the finals, while Medeama qualified at the expense of Accra Hearts of Oak.

Kotoko coach David Duncan believes his side will clinch the title on August 30.

“The Essipong Stadium is a good hunting ground for me because when I was coach of Sekondi Hasaacas in 2003/2004 I never lost a game there so it goes very well for me even though Essipong used to be their home ground,” Duncan told Ghana FA’s website.

Meanwhile, his counterpart from Medeama Tom Strand is also singing the same tune.

“We will do everything in our effort to win the trophy in the Western Region. We are happy that in the FA Cup competition, the best team always win so this year I believe it will go in our favour”.

Medeama defeated Kotoko 1-0 in the 2013 edition to lift their first major title.
