Asante Kotoko Name Strong Squad for MTN FA Cup Final Against Golden Kick SC — Samba, Blay, Opoku Included
Asante Kotoko have announced a formidable squad for the highly anticipated MTN FA Cup final against Division One side Golden Kick SC, set to take place this weekend. The Porcupine Warriors, chasing their first FA Cup title since 2017, are leaving no stone unturned as they look to end the season with silverware.
Leading the squad is experienced midfielder Justice Blay, who has been pivotal in Kotoko’s run to the final. Blay’s strength, vision, and leadership will be crucial in dictating the pace of the game and breaking down Golden Kick’s midfield resistance.
Also included in the squad is Ugandan import Steven Mukwala, who remains one of Kotoko’s key attacking threats. His pace and eye for goal will be central to breaking through the opposition’s defense. In-form goalkeeper Frederick Asare retains his place between the sticks, offering consistency and confidence at the back.
Defensive stalwart Mohammed Alhassan and talented youngster Andrews Ntim Gyimah are also named, strengthening Kotoko’s backline with a mix of experience and youthful energy. Meanwhile, Charles Owusu and Nicholas Osei-Bonsu bolster the midfield and wide areas, offering versatility and creativity in attack.
One of the most exciting inclusions is midfielder Baba Yahaya, whose recent performances have drawn praise from fans and pundits alike. He is expected to provide spark and energy in the middle of the park. Forward Isaac Oppong, who has recently returned to full fitness, could be a game-changer off the bench if called upon.
Coach Prosper Narteh Ogum is expected to field a strong starting XI, with the likes of Rocky Dwamena, Sherif Mohammed, and Bernard Somuah also pushing for starting roles. The inclusion of goalkeeper Danlad Ibrahim offers another solid option in goal.
Golden Kick SC may be underdogs on paper, but Asante Kotoko are approaching this final with full seriousness, knowing that the FA Cup presents a rare opportunity to end the season on a high. Fans will be expecting nothing short of victory when the two sides clash in what promises to be a thrilling final.
