Chairman of the MTN FA Cup Committee, Wilson Arthur, has promised that the 2022/23 competition will be exciting and better.
Clubs from divisions one and two leagues have been paired in the preliminary stage of the competition, which is expected to be played from Tuesday, November 1 to 10, 2022.
The winners will join the Ghana Premier League clubs from the Round of 64 stage.
“This year, I can assure you given the preparations I have seen, we will have a much better tournament coming up this year. Everything is poised for a wonderful season.” Wilson Arthur said at the preliminary stage draw held at the premises at the Ghana Football Association on Tuesday.
The Round of 64 will be played from December 20-29, 2022 before the Round of 32 which has also been scheduled for January 20-23, 2023.
The 2022/2023 season is the final year of MTN’s headline sponsorship deal.
The relationship which commenced in the 2010-11 season was re-started for three (3) seasons commencing from the 2020/21 season.
“We are grateful to MTN," he said. This is the last year of the sponsorship.
"I can see signs that they will continue. We are hoping that they will continue and we will attract more sponsors to join them," he added.
The grand finale of this season’s FA Cup competition will be staged on June 17, 2023, at a venue to be decided by the Ghana Football Association.
Hearts of Oak are the defending Champions of the tournament after beating Bechem United in last season’s final.
