Two players from FA Cup winners Asante Kotoko are on the shortlist for the Best Player Award amid competition from two other candidates from Bechem United and Bibiani Gold Stars.
The FA Cup Committee (FACC) today released the shortlist the various award categories, featuring performers like Augustine Okrah and Abeiku Ainooson who starred in the 2013-14 MTN FA Cup competition.
Star performers in the FA Cup competition will be rewarded on 9 August during the Awards ceremony at the Banquet Hall of the State House in Accra.
Bechem's Okrah and Ainooson from Kotoko will battle Gold Stars' Elvis Opoku and Issah Yakubu, also of Kotoko for the award.
