Under the soft glare of the training ground, Jonina Ladies move like a team with one goal in mind: lifting the Women’s FA Cup. Every pass, every sprint, every shout from the sideline echoes a belief that this is their year.

For a club that has steadily risen through the ranks, this final isn’t just a match—it’s the culmination of years of resilience, belief, and hard work.

"It's a good opportunity for a team like Jonina, who have never been in a final before, for us to reach the final of the Women's FA Cup," head coach Joseph Osei Owusu told Joy Sports.

"For Jonina and the community of Auntie Aku, it will be huge and amazing to win the title.

Confidence runs deep within this squad—and it’s not just coming from the sidelines.

"It doesn't matter that they have been relegated, so we will take them as the underdogs. It's not that easy. With determination and focus, we can win," Joyce Atimbila, who has five goals in the competition, told Joy Sports.

"The fans should expect more goals from me because I'm going to score in the final."

The goalkeeper of the side, Huzeima Osman, also sounded confident, reiterating their preparations.

"We have prepared very well for the final on Sunday, and we are going all out, so I know we can do it; it's possible," she added. "The fans should come out in their numbers to support us because we had a good season, and we would want to crown it with the cup."

But waiting for them at the final whistle is a team with something just as powerful—redemption. Faith Ladies.

Their fate as a top-flight team was decided at the end of the Women's Premier League campaign, and the heartbreak of relegation was palpable. However, their path to the final has been nothing short of defiant.

With Faith, they had a run that surprised many. And despite the odds, stark against them, they arrive with fire in their boots and nothing to lose.

"Come to the University of Ghana Sports Stadium on Sunday, May 18, to watch beautiful football. It's going to be an exciting game, so I hope everybody will be there," Faith Ladies head coach Raymond Fenny said.

"At the end of the day, Faith Ladies will be assured of victory."

No pressure, no fear. Just one last shot at rewriting the narrative of their season.

Two teams, two stories.

One looking to crown a season of growth. The other fighting, to salvage pride in a year of adversity.

The Women’s FA Cup final promises more than silverware—it promises legacy.

From Jonina’s unbreakable bond to Faith’s fearless last stand, this is football at its finest.

It's been a season to forget for Faith Ladies, but for Jonina Ladies, it's one that they would be proud of. Aside from finishing third in the Women's Premier League in only their second season, they also have the FA Cup to fight for.

Good things come to those who wait, and in the end, 90 minutes or more could decide the winner of this fixture.
