Ex-Kotoko striker Kwame Opoku, two others donate $1,100 to support club’s stadium project

Less than 24 hours after Asante Kotoko Chief Executive Officer Nana Yaw Amponsah challenged the supporters of the Porcupines to help raise funds to construct the club’s own stadium, former player Kwame Opoku has heeded the call.

Kwame Opoku, currently plying his trade in Algeria for USM Alger, made the donation of $300 towards the construction of the edifice, reports award-winning sports journalist Saddick Adams.

On the same show on Monday, CEO of Last Chance Travel and Tour, Obofour also donated $700 to support the project together with Dr. Abraham Boakye [One Man Supporter] who also gave $100.

Asante Kotoko, who have been staging their home games at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium, are bent on getting a stadium facility of their own.

Ambitious football administrator, Nana Yaw Amponsah promised to build a stadium for Asante Kotoko in 18 months. He explained that should the massive fanbase of the club contribute their quota, raising such a structure will no longer be a figment of the mind eye but a realistic venture.

“I will build a stadium for Asante Kotoko within 18 months if I should get 100,000 committed supporters to contribute $100 each.” He told Kumasi-based Oyerepa FM. 

What was the CEO’s clarion call? 

Enterprising football administrator, Nana Yaw Amponsah has promised to build a stadium for Asante Kotoko in 18 months. Nana Yaw, who has secured an avalanche of sponsorship deals for Kotoko, is upbeat about adding a stadium edifice to his long list of achievements since assuming office.

The two-time African champions have been staging their home games at the fabled Baba Yara Sports Stadium and with rumours flying about the club’s keen interest in building their own facility, the club CEO has rehashed the claims.
