Dan Owusu, a legendary figure at Bofoakwa Tano, is celebrating the club's return to the Ghana Premier League after more than a decade away from the top flight.
In a tense playoff match held at the Accra Sports Stadium on Tuesday, Bofoakwa secured their promotion by defeating Techiman Eleven Wonders.
The match ended 1-1 after regular time, leading to an intense penalty shootout. Bofoakwa emerged victorious, winning 7-6 in the shootout, and securing their place in the prestigious Ghana Premier League.
In an interview with Koforidua-based Bryt FM, Dan Owusu, who had a remarkable career with Bofoakwa Tano, expressed his joy at the club's qualification for the Ghana Premier League.
"I would like to commend the management, players, and coaching staff for the outstanding job they have done. I also want to thank everyone who prayed for us. I am extremely happy to see Bofoakwa return to the Ghana Premier League after 16 years," Owusu said.
He acknowledged the challenges that lie ahead for the club in the top division, emphasizing that maintaining their status will not be easy.
"The Premier division is a tough task. We have seen many clubs fail to maintain their status in the league after just one season," Owusu commented.
He highlighted the success of Brong Ahafo-based teams such as Aduana Stars, Berekum Chelsea, and Bechem United, who have managed to sustain their presence in the Ghana Premier League. Owusu urged the management to ensure that the right measures are taken to avoid relegation.
“Truth be told, the Brong Ahafo teams have dominated the Ghana Premier League, you can make a case for Aduana Stars, Berekum Chelsea, Bechem United and others who have maintained their status in the league. so I will plead with management to do things right to prevent ourselves from being relegated”
Bofoakwa Tano will join Heart of Lions and Nations FC in the upcoming Ghana Premier League campaign, as they look forward to competing at the highest level once again.
