Eight teams have secured their tickets to the quarterfinals of the FA Cup following the conclusion of the Round of 16 matches played nationwide across the country.

The list of qualifiers was rounded off after Attram De Visser thumbed Premier League side Eleven Wonders 4-0 on Friday 6, 6 February at the Nii Adjei Kraku II Sports Complex in Tema New Town.

The competition continued on Saturday at the TNA Park, where Medeama SC beat top-flight outfit FC Samartex in a tense encounter. By the time regulation time had ended, both sides hadn’t found the back of the net.

But Medeama claimed the victory in a 4-2 penalty shoot-out. Nations FC also advanced on the day, grinding out a hard-fought 2-1 win over Swedru All Blacks.

Action continued on Sunday with Kotoko suffering a 2-4 penalty shoot-out defeat to Aduana FC at the Baba Yara Stadium. Techiman Liberty Youth progressed with a narrow 1-0 victory over Real Tamale United, while Berekum Chelsea also needed just a single goal to overcome lower-tier side Tamale City FC.

On the other hand, True Life FC delivered impressively in their home; however, they ended the home game with a 2-3 defeat to Heart of Lions. Dreams FC rounded off the Round of 16 in style, producing an entertaining display to beat Inter Allies 4-2.

See below the list of clubs that qualified for the FA Cup quarterfinals:Attram De Visser, Medeama SC, Nations FC, Techiman Liberty Youth, Berekum Chelsea, Heart of Lions, Dreams FC, Aduana FC.

Around the same time last year, Berekum Chelsea earned their spot in the quarterfinals with a commanding 4-1 victory over Northern City.

Karela United narrowly defeated Young Apostles 1-0 to advance to the next round.

Bechem United also moved forward, winning 4-3 in a penalty shootout against Techiman Liberty Youth following a goalless match.

True Democracy progressed with a dramatic 5-4 penalty shootout win over Nania FC.

However, the match between Asante Kotoko and Eleven Wise has been postponed, as the Porcupine Warriors have not yet returned to competitive play.

In addition, Specialized cameras were installed under the roofs of all 20 Premier League stadiums to capture precise data on player positioning during close offside calls.

Premier League clubs unanimously agreed to implement this semi-automated offside technology for the 2024-25 season, initially targeting an October 2024 launch. However, the rollout was postponed to allow for additional testing and refinement.

The system follows UEFA’s lead, as European football’s governing body introduced a similar technology in the Champions League at the start of the 2022-23 season.

The FA said: “Semi-automated offside technology will provide more efficient placement of the virtual offside line, based on optical player tracking, and produce virtual graphics to ensure an enhanced in-stadium and broadcast experience for supporters.

“The operation of semi-automated offside technology does not change the accuracy of the decision-making but enhances the speed and efficiency of the process.”

Video Assistant Referees (VAR) will be utilised in all eight FA Cup fifth-round matches, including the game at Championship side Preston. During these matches, referees will make in-stadium VAR announcements.

The fifth round fixtures are slated for the weekend of Saturday, March 1.
