The MTN FA Cup committee has today launched the 2019/20 MTN FA Cup at a ceremony held at the Ghana Football Association secretariat.
The ceremony was graced by the chairman of the committee Mr. Wilson Arthur, vice chairman Kofi Poku and GFA Executive council members Frederick Acheampong, Dr. Tony Aubynn and many others.
The committee held the draw for the preliminary stages of the competition which consists of 92 division one and two teams across the country.
According to the chairman of the MTN FA Cup committee, Mr. Wilson Arthur the draw was held on a Regional basis to create derbies and also to save clubs from traveling to far distances to honor their games.
The FA Cup over the years has pitted some of the best and biggest clubs in the country against relatively unknown teams and players.
It is the surprises and upsets often associated with this cup competition which has sustained it for all these years.
The preliminary stage of the competition does not include the Premier League clubs, but at the next round they will be added to the draw.
