Asante Kotoko Postpones Turkey Trip

Ghana Premier League giants Asante Kotoko will not be travelling to Turkey for pre-season matches as earlier planned.

The Porcupine Warriors were to spend two weeks in the European nation but have been hit by bottlenecks when a number of players couldn’t secure visas leading to cancelation of the trip.

In a statement, the club said: “ Our planned trip to Turkey for the second phase of our pre-season was originally scheduled for 14^th August 2022 has been postponed due to visa processing delays.”

Kotoko had already named a 65-man travelling contingent for their two-week preseason training in Europe.

The friendlies were to shape the team in preparations for African Champions League against Burkinabe side RC Kadiago.

The Kumasi-based side will be looking to defend their 2021/2022 title and win the trophy for the 25^th time in the club history.

Their last season win was the team’s firs in eight yearsfollowing their previous league trophy in the 2013/14 season.

The 2022/23 Ghana Premier League will kick off on the weekend of Friday, 9 September to Monday, 12 September 2022, across all nine Premier League centres.
