Asante Kotoko take on PAC Academy today after canceling Asokwa Deportivo friendly

Asante Kotoko were scheduled to host lower-tier side Asokwa Deportivo at the Adako Jachie training ground this afternoon but the game has been canceled.

The Porcupines will instead take on one of the renowned youth developing clubs in the Ashanti region PAC Academy as they step up preparations for the 2021-22 Ghana premier league campaign.

Kotoko are currently intensifying preparations ahead of the commencement of the new season having returned from Dubai few days ago.

In a bid to sharpen all rough edges in the squad to ensure they are able to properly compete, the Reds have invited the Offinso-based club to test their mettle this afternoon (3:00 PM) at the Adako Jachie Training Ground.

The encounter is to give coach Prosper Narteh the opportunity to try out some different tactics while observing for departments that will need to be fixed before the local league starts this weekend.

The game will be Kotoko’s last preseason game and their first game since the team returned from the Dubai trip.

The Offinso-based club is bankrolled by Inusah Ahmed, an estate developer who also doubles as a member of the U17 Interclub competition LOC of GFA.

Meanwhile, the Ghana Premier League will start on Friday and Kotoko will play their first game against Dreams on Saturday at the Accra Sports Stadium.
