Asante Kotoko, one of Ghana's premier football clubs, has announced the immediate start of a major redevelopment project at their Adako Jachie training ground. Funded by the club's life-patron, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, the project aims to modernize the facility comprehensively.
The Porcupine Warriors made the announcement on social media on Thursday, July 25. The upgraded facility will feature seven pitches, including one designed to resemble a mini stadium, as well as hostels for players.
Historically, Asante Kotoko has faced criticism from rival fans for lacking the necessary facilities expected of a top-tier club. There were even reports that players had to use the bush as a restroom. However, the club’s recent statement indicates these issues will soon be addressed.
"THE KING'S PROJECT," the statement began. "We are delighted to announce the commencement of the transformation of Adako Jachie into a state-of-the-art training facility. This ambitious project, fully funded by His Royal Majesty, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, will be executed in multiple phases. Today marks the beginning of Phase One."
The club also assured fans of ongoing updates, adding, "Stay tuned for updates as we progress in building a world-class training hub. Fabulous!"
