Army Ladies and Hasaacas will play in the final of the 2025/26 Women's FA Cup following their respective wins in the semi-final on Saturday, March 21.
The semi-final games were played at the Cape Coast Stadium, bringing a different feel to the fans, players and lovers of women's football.
The first game on the day saw Army Ladies take on Samartex Ladies after both teams had enjoyed a great run en route to the last four of the competition, with the former picking up a 5-1 win.
Despite Samartex's strong start to the game, it was Army Ladies who took the lead in the fixture. Alamisi Atakaga scored from a set piece to open the scoring on the day, giving the security side an advantage heading into the break.

15 minutes into the second, the Timbers Giants found their equaliser. Ibinabo Alex Georgewill headed home from a corner to make it 1-1.
However, Samarex's joy was short-lived as Army restored their lead just two minutes later. Zinatu Alhassan struck a free-kick over the wall, which also beat the Samartex goalkeeper to make the score 2-1.
Samartex Ladies missed from the penalty spot, failing to take advantage of their momentum.
The miss proved costly for Yussif Basigi's side as Army Ladies went on to score three goals in the remainder of the encounter.
Linda Achiaa scored in the 80th minute, while Esther Asamoah added the fourth five minutes later. The icing on the cake came through Afia Boaduwaa Twumwaa in the additional time of the second.
Army Ladies now advance into the final, where they come up against rivals Hasaacas Ladies, looking to win the time for the first time since beating Police Ladies to the cup two seasons ago.
