Mpraeso have been crowned champions of the 2026 Adom Kwahu Easter football gala after edging past Pitiku in a tightly contested final at Tafo park.
The much-anticipated clash lived up to expectations, with both sides displaying resilience and a strong desire to lift the trophy.
Mpraeso announced their intent in the semi-finals, where they knocked out defending champions Nteso in a dramatic penalty shootout, winning 3-2 after a pulsating game.
So from the first whistle, it was a cagey affair, as neither team was willing to concede ground, resulting in a highly tactical and evenly balanced game.
Chances were few and far between, with both defences standing firm and goalkeepers called into action at crucial moments to keep the scoreline intact.
Tension built in the stands when the match remained deadlocked, which forced the contest into a penalty shootout.
With everything on the line, Mpraeso held their nerve.
Showing composure and precision from the spot, Mpraeso converted their chances while keeping Pitiku under pressure, eventually sealing victory to claim the title.
The final whistle sparked wild celebrations among players and their supporters, then, the bragging began.
For Pitiku, it was a spirited performance that fell just short, and probably will trigger their determination for a win next season.
But for now, Mpraeso have gained the bragging right, gold medals and a trophy that is evidence of their skills.
