FC Savannah claimed their first Women’s Premier Super Cup title after a tense 1-0 win over Epiphany Warriors at the Ghanaman Soccer Centre of Excellence on Tuesday morning. The match went into extra time before Savannah broke the deadlock with a decisive goal early in the additional period.
Both teams earned their place in the final by topping their respective groups in the competition. FC Savannah finished unbeaten in Group A, beating Fosu Royals and Hasaacas Ladies and drawing with Jonina Ladies. Remarkably, they did not concede a single goal during the group stage.
Epiphany Warriors, from the Southern Zone, led Group B despite conceding three goals in their three games. They secured wins against Army Ladies and Prisons Ladies but lost to Dreamz Ladies. This was the first time both sides featured in the Women’s Premier Super Cup.
The final lived up to expectations with end-to-end action. Neither side managed to convert their chances in the 90 minutes of regular play. The match’s intensity and tactical battle kept fans on edge, but both defences held firm.
In the first half of extra time, FC Savannah found the breakthrough. Their well-taken goal beat the Epiphany Warriors goalkeeper and tilted the match in Savannah’s favour. Epiphany responded quickly, pushing hard to level the score but couldn’t find a way past Savannah’s defence.
Army Ladies secured the third-place position after defeating Hasaacas Ladies on penalties in the playoff. The match added another competitive chapter to the 2026 Women’s Premier Super Cup, a tournament that brought new attention to women’s football across Ghana.
FC Savannah’s defensive strength was on full display throughout the competition. Their ability to keep clean sheets helped them progress steadily to the final, where their persistence paid off in extra time.
Epiphany Warriors showed resilience and attacking intent but fell short in the final moments. Their journey as newcomers to the competition will likely encourage them to build on this experience.
The Super Cup featured teams from both Northern and Southern Zones, providing a platform for emerging women’s clubs to compete at a high level. This year’s final added a fresh chapter to the women’s football calendar in Ghana.
FC Savannah’s victory is a milestone for the Northern Zone side and could signal growing competitiveness in the women’s game outside the usual powerhouses. The team’s unbeaten run and strong defensive record set them apart in this edition of the tournament.
The Ghanaman Soccer Centre of Excellence hosted a final marked by spirited play and tactical discipline from both sides. The extra-time winner was a fitting end to a tight match that kept fans engaged until the last whistle.
With their first Super Cup title, FC Savannah have established themselves as a team to watch in Ghana’s women’s football scene. Epiphany Warriors, meanwhile, will look to return stronger in future competitions.
