The Women’s Champion of Champions, the pinnacle of Ghanaian women’s football, has officially announced its match officials for the 2026/27 edition—a contest that will pit Women’s Premier League champions Ampem Darkoa Ladies against FA Cup holders Hasaacas Ladies. The showdown, scheduled for Friday, October 16, 2026, at the Otumfuo Astro Turf in Kumasi, promises to be a defining moment in the league’s history, with the trophy on the line for the first time under this format.
The referee’s team has been selected to oversee what will be one of the most closely watched matches of the season. While the specifics of the officials—including the lead referee, assistants, and VAR operator—have not been disclosed in full, the appointment process underscores the league’s commitment to maintaining the highest standards of officiating. The venue itself, Otumfuo Astro Turf, has already proven its suitability for high-stakes football, having hosted previous editions of the FA Cup final and other elite fixtures. The atmosphere at Dichemso will be electric, with both teams bringing their A-game after dominant seasons.
Ampem Darkoa Ladies, the reigning Women’s Premier League champions, will enter the contest having established themselves as a force to be reckoned with. Their ability to dominate midfield play and convert chances into goals has been a hallmark of their title-winning campaign. Meanwhile, Hasaacas Ladies, the FA Cup winners, bring a different kind of pedigree—one built on resilience and tactical discipline. Their victory in the FA Cup final demonstrated their knack for turning pressure into opportunity, a trait that could prove decisive in a match where possession and structure will be key.
The stakes could not be higher. The Women’s Champion of Champions is not merely a trophy; it is a statement of supremacy across all competitions. The winner will be crowned the most dominant team in Ghanaian women’s football, a title that carries weight beyond the pitch. With the match just weeks away, anticipation is already building, and the officials’ selection marks the final piece of the puzzle. The stage is set for a battle that will be remembered as a turning point in the league’s evolution.
