Accra Hearts of Oak Board Chairman, Togbe Afede XIV admits that Kumasi supporters are the backbone of the club.
He insisted that Ashanti Regional supporters have massively contributed to the success of the club.
Hearts of Oak are one of the biggest clubs in Ghana with twenty-one League titles and eleven Football Association (FA) Cups.
The Rainbow Boys are gearing up ahead of the imminent season.
Hearts of Oak couldn't defend their League title but retain the MTN FA Cup last season.
Hearts have signed Eric Ofori Antwi, Eric Esso, Junior Kaaba, Konadu Yiadom, Zakaria Yakubu and a host of other players to augment their squad ahead of the CAF Confederations Cup campaign.
Hearts of Oak lock horns with Aduana Stars in their first game of the 2022/23 season this weekend.
Togbe Afede XIV insists that Hearts of Oak supporters in Kumasi are inspirational to the success of the club.
"It's a great honour and privilege for me because you the fans of Kumasi, the Ashanti Region, are the backbone of our club," he admitted at an engagement with the supporters in Kumasi.
"You've been a tremendous inspiration and you have made it possible the various initiatives that we're taking to move Hearts of Oak to a different level," he added.
