• An action scene from the third place match between Dichemso and Kwadaso
The 2023 MTN Ashantifest Soccer tournament lived up to its festival billing with a mouthwatering final that saw Ejisu triumph over Santasi to climax the over a month-long competition.
Ejisu were crowned the champions after emerging 4-3 victors over Santasi on penalty shoot-outs after a grueling 1-1 draw in regulation time.
Aimed at unearthing budding stars in the participating communities in the Ashanti region, the championship sponsored by MTN Ghana was watched by a huge crowd that included traditional rulers, MTN officials, dignitaries as well as coaches and retired players.
Perhaps, the sight of seasoned coaches like Samuel Boadu, Paa Kwesi Fabin, Akwesi Appiah, Kweku Frimpong and Abdul Razak ‘Golden Boy’ provided a fillip for players that wanted to revive their respective careers as they put up an impressive display to thrill the guests.
Enock Morrison gave Santasi a 55th minute lead at the Otumfuo Park at Dichenso in Kumasi with a freekick.
But Ejisu drew parity in the 70th minute as Raruf Abubakar fired home what the fans expected.
They stretched their superiority to the shoot-outs where they converted four against the three scored by Santasi to emerge winners to take home the giant trophy, a cash prize of GHȻ20,000 and other souvenirs at stake.
Kwadaso recorded a 3-1 victory over Dichemso in a thrilling third place match that saw Samuel Sarpong score a brace and a goal from George Agyemang.
Ransford Bonsu scored the consolation goal for Dichemso.

The Tema Regional Police Command has arrested a 32-year-old man for allegedly posing as a soldier and extorting money from unsuspecting members of the public at Ashaiman.
The suspect, identified as Bright Atsu Kudiabor, was arrested by the Ashaiman Police on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, at about 7:00 a.m.
According to the Police, he was arrested at an area known as “I Shall Return”, where he was allegedly parading himself as a soldier and demanding money from people.
The Police said Kudiabor, who is an ex-convict, was initially arrested by personnel of the Ghana National Fire Service in Ashaiman with assistance from other members of the public.
A search conducted on him after he was handed over to the Police reportedly led to the recovery of a set of military camouflage uniform.
The suspect is currently in Police custody and assisting with investigations.
The Tema Regional Police Command said he would be processed for court after investigations are completed.
The Police urged the public to remain vigilant and report anyone who falsely presents themselves as a soldier or a member of another security agency to deceive or extort money from the public.

Volta Regional Minister, James Gunu, says the Volta Region holds enormous agricultural potential and efforts must be geared towards connecting farmers to the needed resources to unlock that potential.
He said focus must be on linking farmers to resources, technology, financing and markets to increase production, create jobs and build sustainable livelihoods.
Hon. Gunu made the remarks at the national launch of the Ghana Tomato Self-Sufficiency Initiative (GHATSI) held at Anloga in the Volta Region on Tuesday, September 15.
The initiative, under the theme “Produce at Home. Feed the Nation. Export the Surplus,” seeks to boost local tomato production, processing and marketing while reducing Ghana’s heavy reliance on imported tomatoes.
The launch was attended by the Minister for Food and Agriculture, Eric Opoku, his Deputy, John Setor Dumelo, Feed Ghana Coordinator, Bright Demordzi, Members of Parliament, traditional leaders, MMDCEs, farmers and other stakeholders.
Mr.Gunu expressed appreciation to the Minister for Food and Agriculture for the support announced for the region, including two excavators, 200 cartons of organic fertiliser, and GH¢200,000 for Ms. Kuatudzo Esther Dela, a tomato farmer and processor from Ziope.
He described the initiative as an important step towards making agriculture a stronger driver of food security, job creation and economic growth in the Volta Region.
