GFA Postpones Kotoko’s FA Cup Match

The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has postponed the round of 64 FA Cup match between Future Stars FC and Asante Kotoko SC.

The fixture, originally scheduled for Wednesday, December 3, 2025, will now be played on Wednesday, December 10, 2025.

According to a GFA statement on Monday, “the adjustment comes as part of an updated fixture arrangement aimed at ensuring smooth coordination of the competition and providing optimal conditions for all participating clubs.”

The postponement will likely be welcomed by Kotoko coach Karim Zito, who has repeatedly expressed concerns about his team’s tight schedule and mounting injuries.

“I saw tiredness within the boys, and this is the league we have to play. I even said the FA should look into it in future because Dreams FC passed through this and nearly went to relegation, same for Samartex,” he said.

Zito also criticised the quick turnaround between matches.

“Wednesday-Sunday [fixtures], we are not Europeans. They have energy, what they eat and the tablet they take, not to dope them but to give them what the body here cannot give you. Seriously, I don’t think it’s fair,” he added last month.

Kotoko have been hit by injuries, missing up to nine first-team players in the past month. The Porcupine Warriors are the defending champions of the FA Cup and will be hoping to recover fully for their rescheduled clash with Future Stars next week.
