Asante Kotoko is gearing up for its pre-season campaign, which will kick off with a friendly match against Arthur Football Academy on Saturday, August 3, 2024, at the Adako Jachie Training Ground.
The match is scheduled to start at 9:00am, and it will provide the technical team with a crucial assessment of their preparations since setting up camp in Kumasi on July 29, 2024.
The friendly match is particularly significant as it precedes Kotoko's upcoming clash against Medeama on Friday, August 16, 2024, which will mark the grand opening and handover of the new Tarkwa and Aboso Stadium, a 12,000-seater ultra-modern facility financed by Gold Fields.
Coach Prosper Narteh Ogum is expected to use the game against Arthur Football Academy to test some of his newly recruited players and determine how best to replace those who have left the club. This pre-season friendly is a key step in Kotoko's preparations for the 2024/2025 Ghana Premier League season.
The match will give the coaching staff an opportunity to assess the team's fitness levels, tactics, and overall performance. It will also provide an opportunity for the newly recruited players to showcase their skills and impress the coaching staff.
The pre-season friendly is a vital part of Kotoko's preparations for the upcoming season, and it is expected to be a competitive match that will give both teams valuable experience.
