Africa-Press – Botswana. Following action-packed season filled highlight reel goals and surprising upsets, the Orange FA Cup Season 6 concludes on June 13 with a final showdown between Jwaneng Galaxy and Security Systems at the National Stadium.
The FA Cup final promises to be a thrilling encounter as the two teams battle for the last major domestic trophy of the season. There is also an offer of CAF Confederation Cup spot to the winner, something Galaxy hope will be of little relevance to them, but a tantalising prospect for Systems supporters who have never tasted continental football.
It is the first time in the FA Cup’s history for the two sides to meet in a final showdown and history could be made as Galaxy is aiming to claim the title for a second consecutive year, while Systems hope to continue their giant-killing run and make history on their own. After a disappointing league campaign that ended in relegation, Security Systems will be looking to the Orange FA Cup to redeem itself.
As the defending champions, the odds are undoubtedly in Galaxy’s favour to lift the trophy, buoyed by both their cup competition and CAF champions league experience that has transformed them to perennial winners. It is on this backdrop that they will be hopeful to add yet another trophy to their wide range of collections. Galaxy is making a compelling case as FA Cup specialists having crowned last season’s champions and it is certainly a more complete side than their opponents, with a better balanced capable squad.
This is set to be a match that has it all, a trophy decider packed with intensity and everything spectators could hope for. One might be tempted to believe that Galaxy’s big game experience will carry them through, just as it did in the last season’s 2-1 victory against Orapa United at the Obed Itani Chilume Stadium in Francistown. As for Systems, the Friday encounter is an opportunity to make history by winning the Cup in the same year they were relegated from the premier league.
