As part of the build-up to the Women’s FA Cup final, the organising committee will embark on a trophy tour to the headquarters of the Ghana Police Service (GPS) and Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) whose teams will be competing in the final match.
Officials of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) will join the Women’s FA Cup Committee as they present the trophy to the top hierarchies of the Police Service and the Armed Forces, respectively.
The tour will begin with a visit to the Police Headquarters on Thursday, May 30, 2024, before a visit to the Army Headquarters in Burma Camp.
The top brass of the Police Service and Ghana Army officials will be invited to attend the first-ever clash between security services in a cup final, and discussions will be held on matters of mutual interest to Ghana Football.
The trophy tour will also provide an opportunity for the two finalists, Army Ladies and Police Ladies, to see the magnificent trophy ahead of the June 8 showdown at the University of Ghana Sports Stadium.

The Army Ladies had it tough against Division One side Epiphany Warriors before grabbing a 2:1 extra-time victory to propel them into this year’s final.
The Women’s FA Cup will be the opening match of the upcoming Women’s Football Festival’s double-header, which will be staged at the University of Ghana Sports Stadium on June 8.
The game will kick off at 4pm.

Many SOEs have been used as mere instruments for personal wealth accumulation –Pres.Mahama
President John Dramani Mahama has expressed concern over the misuse of State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) for personal financial gain by individuals in leadership positions.
Speaking during a meeting with Chief Executives of specified entities under the State Interest and Governance Authority (SIGA) on Thursday, March 13, the President directly attributed the dire state of SOEs to their leadership, accusing chief executives, management teams, and governing boards of prioritising personal enrichment over organisational efficiency.
He pointed to bloated budgets, unjustified allowances, and unnecessary expenditures as factors draining public funds while SOEs continue to rely on government bailouts.
“Many SOEs have been used as mere instruments for personal wealth accumulation by appointees. The chief executives, management, and boards of these enterprises are responsible for this situation. Some SOEs have become perennial loss-makers, draining public funds with bloated budgets, unjustified allowances, and unnecessary expenditures while relying on government bailouts as if entitled to them. Many of these entities are at their lowest point in the entire history of the Fourth Republic,” he said.
President Mahama further noted that many SOEs have been plagued by inefficiencies, corruption, and mismanagement, leading to consistent financial losses. He cited the 2023 State Ownership Report by the State Interests and Governance Authority (SIGA), which highlighted systemic inefficiencies and wasteful expenditures within these entities.
He therefore reaffirmed his commitment to reforming under-performing SOEs and ensuring they serve national interests.
He warned that loss-making SOEs will no longer be tolerated and will either be merged, privatised, or closed.
“I will assess you based on your performance. If you do not align with the pace of the reset agenda, you may be asked to step aside. If that adds to the horror movie, so be it,” he added.
