With former champions, Nania FC planning to compete against the elite teams again, and last year finalists, Okwahu United also keen to relive those glorious moments, their opponents for this preliminary round must brave themselves for a stiff contest.
Okwahu play Tema-based True Democracy while Nania face Uncle T Stars.
However, the spotlight will be on the match between former Ghana Premier League (GPL) campaigners, Mighty Jets, and Amidaus Professionals as they set out to offer their fans a glimpse of their old self when they clash on Sunday.
Both teams have been unsuccessful in their attempt to regain promotion to the elite league but Sunday’s game presents a fine opportunity for them to show their fans that they are ready to take on the big guns in the elite league.
Interestingly, both teams find themselves in Zone 3 of the DOL and are not new to each other, but their contrasting outings on the league table make Mighty Jets favourites of this encounter.
Amidaus Professionals have just four points in five matches and are 13th on the league table, unlike Mighty Jets who are sixth with seven points, clearly determined to bounce back to the top flight football.
Strangely, after winning the competition some six seasons ago, Nania, have been consigned to obscurity and have barely made any impact since, but their game against Uncle T Stars could revive their quest to be champions again.
