The stage is set for a thrilling encounter between Berekum Chelsea and Bechem United in the quarter-final of the 2024/25 MTN FA Cup on Saturday, March 29, 2025.

The Brong Ahafo rivals will lock horns at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium, with kickoff scheduled for 7pm.

This match promises to be a highly contested affair, given the teams’ long-standing rivalry in the Ghana Premier League.

Berekum Chelsea has been in impressive form in the competition, having defeated lower-tier side Boresa FC 6-0, Debibi United, and Northern City 4-0 in the Round of 16.

The Bibires will rely on the attacking prowess of Stephen Amankonah, who has scored 10 goals in the Ghana Premier League.

Bechem United, on the other hand, boasts a rich history in the MTN FA Cup, having played in two finals in the last decade.

The Hunters won the title in the 2015/16 season, defeating Okwahu United 2-1 in the final.

To reach the quarter-final, Bechem United eliminated Techiman Liberty Youth, Rain Masters FC, and Premier League side Nations FC.

They will be seeking to overcome Berekum Chelsea and advance to the semi-final.

This highly anticipated match promises to be an exciting encounter between two teams with a rich history of rivalry.

Will Berekum Chelsea’s attacking firepower prove too much for Bechem United, or will the Hunters’ experience in the competition give them the edge they need to advance?
