Dr Tony Aubyn has been named as the head of a five-member committee tasked with planning the 2025 Champion of Champions match between Bibiani GoldStars and Asante Kotoko.
The traditional fixture kicks off the new football season by pitting the Ghana Premier League champions against the MTN FA Cup winners in a high-profile showdown.
Bibiani GoldStars clinched their maiden Premier League title at the end of the 2024/25 season, following a remarkable campaign that saw them rise above Ghanaian football giants.
Asante Kotoko, on the other hand, secured the 2025 MTN FA Cup title, adding another feather to their rich history and setting up a tantalising clash with the newly crowned league champions.
Dr Aubyn, a former GFA Executive Council member and seasoned football administrator, will oversee a team that is expected to determine the date, venue, and overall organisation of the much-anticipated encounter.
The planning committee’s responsibilities will go beyond logistics, encompassing security, media coverage, ticketing, hospitality, and fan engagement. The GFA is keen on turning the Champion of Champions into a marquee fixture that celebrates Ghana’s football excellence while providing a festive atmosphere for fans across the country.
Wilson Arthur will serve as the Vice Chairman of the committee. Arthur is currently the Chairman of the MTN FA Cup Committee and has been greatly applauded by many for how his team staged the 2025 MTN FA Cup final.
Other members of the committee include Frank Nelson Nwokolo, a member of the MTN FA Cup Committee, Akwasi Adu, CEO of Bibiani Goldstars and Richard Osei Akoto, Administrative Manager of Kumasi Asante Kotoko.
This year’s edition holds extra significance as it features a debutant league winner in Bibiani GoldStars, going up against one of the most decorated clubs in Ghanaian football.
Details on the match date and venue are expected to be announced soon. –Ghanafa.org
