Asante Kotoko to play Al Hilal of Sudan in a friendly

Asante Kotoko will face Sudanese champions Al Hilal SC in a friendly on  Tuesday, August 23, 2022 in a friendly ahead of the 2022/23 season.

The Porcupine Warriors have been preparing in Accra ahead of the new season.

They were scheduled to travel to Turkey for the second phase of their preseason but are still in Ghana due to visa issues.

With barely three weeks to the start of the new Premier League season, and the preliminary round matches in the Caf competitions, it looks quite possible that Kotoko may completely abandon their journey to Turkey as they have lined up an international friendly against Hilal.

The game will be played at 7pm.

Interim coach Abdul Gazeli will have the opportunity to assess his players against a crack side.

Al Hilal announced the scrimmage on their social media pages and it will be played at the Al Hilal Stadium.

Both teams will represent their respective country in the 2022/23 Caf Champions League scheduled to commence next month.

Kotoko are expected to leave Ghana on Monday, according to our sources.
