The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has officially released the full calendar for the 2025/26 Women’s FA Cup, marking a significant expansion in participation and competition structure.
The tournament is scheduled to kick off on the weekend of November 21, 2025, and will culminate with the grand finale on May 4, 2026.
In a major development, the upcoming season will see the number of participating teams double from 32 to 64, featuring 44 Division One Regional Women’s Clubs alongside 20 Women’s Premier League Clubs. This expansion is part of the GFA’s broader efforts to grow women’s football and provide more competitive opportunities across all levels.
A key structural change includes the introduction of a Round of 64, where fixtures will be drawn on a regional basis to minimize travel and logistical burdens in the early stages. From the Round of 16, the competition will shift to a zonal format, increasing competitiveness and variety in matchups as the tournament progresses.
Faith Ladies, champions of the 2024/25 edition, will return to defend their title after a thrilling 2-1 victory over Jonina Ladies in last season’s final at the University of Ghana Stadium.
The GFA’s announcement signals a bold step forward for the Women’s FA Cup, underlining its commitment to the development and visibility of the women’s game across Ghana.
