‘I need you to win an African title’ – Otumfuo challenges Asante Kotoko

The Owner and Life Patron of Asante Kotoko, the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II has challenged the club to put its house in order and go for the CAF Champions League title next season.

Kotoko used to be a power house in the Africa’s elite club competition. Their exploits in the past earned it the continent’s club of the century but Kotoko have been dormant in Africa in for a long time.

The club, led by the Executive Officer Officer, Nana Yaw Amponsah and his management and the playing body Kotoko as well the supporter’s leadership were at the Manhyia Palace to present the 2021-22 Ghana Premier League title.

Speaking through his linguist, Otumfuo commended the club for clinching the title and demanded that they go higher to win the CAF Champions League to bring back joy to Kumasi as it was done in the past.

“I congratulate you for winning the league title, now, you are going to Africa, I will urge you, the CEO, coach and the players to win Africa because it’s been a while I laid hands on the title. As a team, you need to remain united to be able to succeed.”

Kotoko will conclude their campaign in Accra against Accra Lions on Saturday, June 18.

The Porcupines will represent Ghana in the 2022/23 CAF Champions League campaign.
