The stage is finally set for the ultimate showdown in the 2025 National Science and Maths Quiz (NSMQ) as defending champions Mfantsipim School, two-time champions Opoku Ware School, and equally formidable St. Augustine’s College lock horns in what promises to be one of the most electrifying finals in recent memory.
Scheduled for Thursday, November 6, at the SGS Auditorium, University of Cape Coast, the grand finale will bring together three of Ghana’s most decorated academic giants, all former champions with a rich legacy of brilliance and rivalry.
Mfantsipim School, popularly known as BOTWE, are on the verge of making history as they chase a back-to-back victory, following a dominant semifinal performance against GSTS and Mankranso SHS.
Their dream is to lift their fourth NSMQ title, a feat that would further cement their place in quiz history.
Their biggest obstacle, however, comes in the form of Opoku Ware School (OWASS), who are riding high on momentum after a commanding win over St. Peter’s SHS and Achimota School.
The Akatakyie are seeking their third national title and a long-awaited return to glory since their last triumph in 2002.
Meanwhile, St. Augustine’s College (AUGUSCO), champions in 2009 and 2019, have proven once again that they are not to be underestimated.
Their thrilling comeback victory over Pope John SHS and Amaniampong SHS has reignited hopes of a third title, setting the stage for a fierce three-way rivalry.
With the trophy and ultimate bragging rights on the line, Thursday’s finale is more than just a contest of intellect, it is a battle of pride, history, and legacy.
Who will emerge supreme at the University of Cape Coast, Botwe’s brilliance, Akatakyie’s determination, or AUGUSCO’s resilience?
All eyes now turn to the SGS Auditorium, where only one will rise as the 2025 NSMQ Champion.
