ABSA Cup 2025 Quarterfinal Fixtures: Titans Set to Clash in Battle for Semifinal Spots
The stage is officially set for the 2025 ABSA Cup quarterfinals with eight teams confirmed after an exhilarating Round of 16 weekend. Zambian football fans are in for a treat as the next round features thrilling matchups, including historic rivalries, underdog stories, and potential giant-killings. Here’s a full breakdown of the quarterfinal fixtures and what to expect from each clash.
Kansanshi Dynamos 🆚 Nkana FC
In what promises to be a classic North-Western vs Copperbelt showdown, Kansanshi Dynamos—fresh off a dominant 4-1 win over Green Buffaloes—will face Nkana FC, who had to dig deep and win on penalties against Roan United. Kansanshi have momentum, but Nkana’s pedigree and cup experience could prove crucial. This fixture brings together two teams with contrasting styles: Kansanshi’s structured build-up against Nkana’s fast transitions and attacking flair.
🏟 Arthur Davies Stadium – Kitwe
ZESCO United 🆚 Konkola Blades
ZESCO United, one of the tournament favourites, will take on Konkola Blades, who secured a solid 2-0 win over Solwezi Academy. ZESCO have looked sharp and cohesive with veterans like John Ching’andu leading from the front. However, they must guard against complacency, as Konkola Blades have proven to be a well-drilled unit with upset potential.
🏟 Arthur Davies Stadium – Kitwe
Kabwe Warriors 🆚 Power Dynamos
Arguably the biggest match of the quarterfinals, Kabwe Warriors face Power Dynamos in a blockbuster clash. Kabwe Warriors dispatched Makeni All Stars 2-0 and remain unbeaten in all competitions this season, while Power Dynamos are chasing a domestic double and cruised past Air Power 3-0. This clash pits two of the MTN Super League’s most in-form teams against each other in what could be a potential final-worthy encounter.
🏟 Nkoloma Stadium – Lusaka
Red Arrows 🆚 Green Eagles
In a battle between two disciplined sides, Red Arrows will take on Green Eagles, who narrowly beat Prison Leopards via penalties. Red Arrows were ruthless in their 6-1 demolition of Mpulungu Harbour and look hungry for more silverware. Green Eagles, on the other hand, are known for their tactical structure and compact defense, making this a matchup of attack versus resilience.
🏟 Nkoloma Stadium – Lusaka
Conclusion
With matchups that promise drama, goals, and tactical intrigue, the 2025 ABSA Cup quarterfinals are shaping up to be a football spectacle. From title contenders like ZESCO United and Power Dynamos to dark horses like Konkola Blades and Kansanshi Dynamos, every team has something to prove. Fans can expect fierce competition as teams battle for a spot in the semifinals—and a step closer to lifting the prestigious ABSA Cup.
