With the Royals likely to finish the season in mid-table, the MTN FA Cup is the last chance for Paa Kwesi Fabian's men to win silverware and salvage their 2023-24 campaign.

The road to the semi-finals started brilliantly for Legon Cities as they smashed city rivals Accra Lions 3-0 in the Round of 64.

The Royals subsequently brushed aside Division Two side Koforidua Suhyen Sporting Club 4-0 in the Round of 32, accounted for Nania FC 2-1 in the Round of 16 before beating Bechem United 1-0 in the quarter-finals.

They triumphed on penalties against Berekum Chelsea (5-3) in the Round of 16 and edged past Karela United 1-0 in the quarter-finals.

Nsoatreman make the journey to Sogakope, seeking to advance to their first ever MTN FA Cup final but must contend with a resolute Legon Cities side at the WAFA park on Saturday.

Defending champions Dreams FC take on Bofoakwa Tano in Sunday's semi-final clash at the WAFA park in Sogakope.

Four consecutive draws and a win populate the recent form book of Bofoakwa Tano, so this weekend's MTN FA Cup semi-final will be an opportunity to refocus for a squad who could perhaps relish a chance to change gears.

Bofo are heavily involved in the relegation dog-fight and will be eager to make amends in the Cup match against the champions.

Dreams FC are just two matches away from making a return to continental competition after their impressive debut campaign in the CAF Confederation Cup, where they reached the semi-finals.

The Believers breezed through the three rounds of the MTN FA Cup by beating Division One side Susubiri 1-0, Heart of Lions 2-0, Koforidua Sempe Fi 4-0, and a 1-0 quarter-final win over Soccer Intellectuals.

Bofoakwa Tano started its MTN FA Cup campaign with a 3-0 win against Sunyani Oxford FC, a second division side in round 6
