The 2024/25 MTN FA Cup has delivered its fair share of surprises, and as the competition nears its climax, two ambitious Division One League teams — Golden Kick FC and Attram De Visser — are poised to make history. The pair will face off in a highly anticipated semifinal clash on Saturday, May 10, 2025, at the TNA Stadium in Tarkwa, with a coveted spot in the final at stake.
This encounter guarantees a rare feat: one of these second-tier clubs will reach the MTN FA Cup final, a milestone achieved by only three other Division One teams in the past — FC Nania (2011 champions), Okwahu United (2016 finalists), and Bofoakwa Tano (2021 finalists). Their progress underlines the increasing competitiveness of Ghanaian football and the narrowing gap between the top two divisions.
Attram De Visser: The Attacking Force
Attram De Visser have impressed with their fluid attacking style throughout the tournament. Their path to the semis included a notable win over Premier League side Bibiani Gold Stars in the Round of 16, followed by a dominant performance against Pac Academy. With five goals scored, three conceded, and two clean sheets, they’ve demonstrated both firepower and resilience.
Golden Kick FC: The Defensive Masters
In contrast, Golden Kick FC have built their success on defensive solidity. The Accra-based side stunned Ghanaian giants Accra Hearts of Oak and eliminated Karela United en route to the semifinals. Their record speaks for itself — just four goals scored in five matches, but with four clean sheets, they’ve mastered the art of grinding out results.
A Tactical Battle Ahead
Saturday’s clash promises a compelling duel of contrasting philosophies: Golden Kick’s disciplined and pragmatic approach against Attram De Visser’s dynamic and attacking play. Control of the midfield will likely determine the outcome, as both sides aim to impose their style early.
Regardless of the result, history will be made in Tarkwa — with one Division One team booking a place in the MTN FA Cup final and inspiring a new wave of belief among Ghana’s lower-tier clubs.
