Three Round of 16 matches were postponed in accordance with Article 13(4) of the GFA General Regulations after Asante Kotoko, Medeama and Ashantigold requested for their matches to be rescheduled for contributing players into the Local Black Stars and the Black Meteors.

Asante Kotoko will host Real Tamale United at the Baba Yara Stadium on Wednesday while Ashantigold play at home against Inter Allies.

And after eliminating Berekum Chelsea from the competition, Division two side Great Astronomers will face Medeama at the Robert Mensah Stadium.
