Samartex General Manager, Edmund Ackah, has come out swinging in defence of the club’s season, insisting that labeling the campaign a failure is completely unfair and short-sighted.
In a no-holds-barred media interaction with Asempa FM, Ackah addressed growing fan criticism and media chatter surrounding Samartex’s inconsistency in the second round of the season, especially after the club’s early-season title buzz faded.
“Our season can’t be described as a failure,” Ackah said. “The one who placed second last season got 51 points. We had the same number of points this season, and we finished seventh.”
After an early exit from the CAF Champions League, Ackah admitted the run took a toll on their domestic momentum.
“We had major injury issues in our preparation towards the Champions League. We missed a number of key players during the season, including Baba Amando and Mankuyeli.”
Despite falling short of a top-three finish, Samartex showed flashes of brilliance and pulled off impressive wins against some of the GPL’s biggest names.
With the 2025/26 season on the horizon, Ackah insists the focus is now on recruitment, retaining key players, and pushing harder next time.
