Asante Kotoko Sporting Club have officially announced the establishment of Asante Kotoko Ladies, marking the club's long-awaited entry into women's football.
The Porcupine Warriors unveiled the new team on Friday, describing it as another significant step in the club's long-term vision to build a complete football institution while promoting the growth of the women's game in Ghana.
The formation of Asante Kotoko Ladies also enables the club to meet CAF Club Licensing Regulations, which require clubs participating in continental competitions to operate or affiliate with a women's team.
As part of the process, Kotoko's board acquired an existing women's league club, providing the newly established side with a platform to compete while accelerating preparations for competitive football.
The team has already commenced training at the Asem Astro Turf in Kumasi as preparations intensify ahead of the upcoming season.
The launch of Asante Kotoko Ladies marks a historic chapter in the club's rich history, expanding the Porcupine Warriors' footprint beyond the men's game and reaffirming their commitment to football development at all levels.
Further announcements regarding the team's technical staff, playing squad and participation in domestic competitions are expected in the coming weeks as the club finalises preparations for its inaugural campaign.
