Ampem Darkoa Ladies and Hasaacas Ladies will renew their rivalry on Friday, October 16, when they meet in the 2026 Women’s Champion of Champions to officially usher in the new season of women’s football in Ghana.
The match, scheduled for a 3:00 pm kick-off at the Otumfuo Astro Turf in Dichemso, will pit the Women’s Premier League champions against the FA Cup holders in a contest expected to deliver an intense battle for the season’s first major trophy.
Ampem Darkoa head into the encounter as league champions following another impressive campaign. The Techiman-based side have established themselves among the leading forces in Ghanaian women’s football, combining tactical organisation with attacking quality.
Hasaacas Ladies, meanwhile, secured their place in the contest after winning the Women’s FA Cup last season. The Sekondi-based club, four-time league champions, will be eager to begin the new campaign with another trophy and demonstrate their determination to challenge for domestic honours.
The fixture renews a rivalry that has shaped the women’s game in recent years, with both clubs sharing several major trophies and contesting important finals. Ampem Darkoa won the 2023 FA Cup final, while Hasaacas Ladies claimed the 2024 Champion of Champions title.
The presence of players from the Black Queens and Young Princesses in both squads is also expected to add quality to the contest and provide an opportunity for Ghana’s home-based talents to showcase their abilities.
Beyond the trophy, the encounter will offer both technical teams an opportunity to assess new signings, test tactical approaches and build momentum ahead of the 2026/27 Women’s Premier League season.
