FC AshantiGold 04 rounded off their successful Division One League campaign with a 1-0 victory over King Faisal in a colourful coronation game at the Len Clay Stadium on Sunday, May 17, 2026.
The Miners had already secured promotion to the Ghana Premier League after emerging champions of Zone Two, but Sunday’s encounter served as a grand celebration of their impressive season and return to the top flight.
The coronation weekend in Obuasi was filled with several community activities including clean-up exercises, a health walk, and a special curtain raiser match involving former AshantiGold players and Kumawood stars before the main fixture.
On the pitch, the two teams produced an entertaining contest filled with intensity and strong performances from both sides.
However, it was AshantiGold captain Kojo Twumasi who emerged the hero after scoring late in the game to secure victory for the Miners.
The win completed a memorable afternoon for the Obuasi-based club, who now shift attention to preparations for life in the Ghana Premier League next season.
AshantiGold’s return to the top flight marks another major chapter in the club’s history as the Miners aim to re-establish themselves among Ghana football’s elite once again.
