Asante Kotoko defeated Golden Kick FC 2-1 on Sunday to win the 2024–25 MTN FA Cup, earning them GH¢180,000 in total.
The Porcupine Warriors won their tenth FA Cup in the final, which took place at the University of Ghana Sports Stadium. Kwame Opoku gave Kotoko the lead, but Bless Ege's incredible free kick tied the score just before halftime.
Following Kotoko's contentious penalty kick late in the game, Opoku converted it with ease to give coach Karim Zito's team the victory.
Kotoko will receive GH¢80,000 in prize money and an extra GH¢100,000 from the Ghana Football Association (GFA) to help them in their campaign in the next CAF Confederation Cup, FA Cup Committee Chairman Wilson Arthur said on Sporty FM.
The goal of the funding package is to assist the team in getting ready for continental play.
