Nana Yaw Amponsah reveals how 100,000 Asante Kotoko fans can help him build stadium for the club

The Chief Executive Officer Asante Kotoko, Nana Yaw Amponsah says that he will build a stadium for the club if he can get a number of supporters to contribute an amount of money.

Kotoko since it was founded in 1935 have used the Kumasi Sports Stadium now christened Baba Yara Stadium as their home grounds.

Most Kotoko supporters have been reeling from the huge deductions that is made from gate proceeds each time the club uses the Baba Yara Stadium by the National Sports Authority.

Speaking in an interview on Kumasi based Oyerepa FM, the Kotoko CEO says that he will build a stadium for the club in 18 months if he can get 100,000 supporters to contribute $100 each.

“Indeed we have several millions of fans but we have not been able to prove it,” Nana Yaw Amponsah told Kumasi-based Oyerepa FM on Monday.

“I don’t need 10 million supporters. I only need 100,000 committed supporters and I will build a stadium for Kotoko in 18 months.

“Each of the 100,000 committed fans should contribute 100 USD each. That is 10 million US Dollars. This amount can build a stadium for the club” Amponsah said to Oyerepa FM.

“Look if 10,000 fans attend a single game of our club , averagely we can get about 200,000 Ghana Cedis after all deductions. That is 400,000 Ghana cedis for two home games and convert that amount to dollars. It’s a huge amount and we can keep our best players and build stadium” he added.

Etouga Mbella has scored 13 goals in 14 games in his debut season at Kotoko and it is believed several clubs abroad have started asking bout the Cameroonian already

Kotoko is set to begin a club census to enumerate the exact number of supporters of the club globally.
