Profile of newly-appointed Asante Kotoko CEO Nana Yaw Amponsah

Nana Yaw Amponsah, the newly-appointed Asante Kotoko Chief Executive Officer during the GFA Presidential elections campaign once said, his dreams started when he first watched the 1986 World Cup held in Mexico.

As a child, he could determine Diego Amando Maradona’s famous “Hand of God” goal and shouted handball but the adults around him then argued over it until it emerged he was right.

Then it was predicted, he would become a great footballer. Although Nana Amponsah was quite talented, a horrific injury ended his dreams of becoming a professional footballer.- Advertisement –
