The 2021 Ghanaian FA Cup (also called the 2021 MTN FA Cup for sponsorship reasons) is the 41st edition of the Ghanaian FA Cup, the knockout football competition of Ghana.[1][2][3]

History

[edit]

Due to the shortcomings within the Ghana Football Association due to the dissolution of the GFA in June 2018, as a result of the Anas Number 12 Expose and the COVID-19 pandemic, the FA Cup has not been fully organised until 2021. From 2019 to 2021, Wilson Arthur was the chairman of the FA Cup committee, tasked to ensure a successful organization of the Cup competition.[4]

Format

[edit]

A total of 110 clubs consisting of 18 Premier League Clubs, 48 Division One League Clubs and 44 Division Two League Clubs from the Regional Football Associations will participate in this year's competition.[5][6]

The preliminary round stage of the cup would be played between the 48 Division One Clubs and 44 Division Two clubs totalling 92 clubs across the country.[1][5]

The Preliminary stage of the competition is scheduled for 14 May to 20 May 2021. The Winners of the preliminary round will progress to the round of 64 where they would be drawn against the 18 Premier League clubs.[5][1]

The Winner of the MTN FA Cup shall represent Ghana in the 2021–22 CAF Confederation Cup.[1]
