On Saturday June 8, 2024 in Accra, after a nail-biting 1-0 victory over Police Ladies, Army Ladies secured the Women’s FA Cup title.

In the fifty-first minute, Deborah Opoku scored the game-winning goal, giving Army Ladies their first-ever FA Cup victory.

At the University of Ghana Stadium in Legon, both teams sold out a thrilling game.

Early in the exchanges, Police Ladies surprised everyone by putting on a strong performance in front of a sizable audience.

But despite both teams missing numerous chances, the first half ended without any goals.

But five minutes into the second half, Deborah Opoku gave Army Ladies the lead with a close-range goal that turned out to be the game-winning goal.

 

The lack of a cutting edge in the final third prevented Police Ladies from equalizing despite their multiple attempts at goal and numerous close misses.

At the University of Ghana, Army Ladies defeated their Police Ladies opponents with a masterful defensive performance.

Although both elite teams made an impression, Army Ladies emerged victorious in a compelling competition.
