Kotoko Board member denies Anane Sports Stadium purchase

Published

on

Asante Kotoko Executive Board member, Joseph Yaw Adu, has debunked reports in the media that suggested the team was planning to purchase the Anane Sports Stadium.

The newly-appointed Executive Board headed by Dr Kwame Kyei has been tasked by Manhyia to set up a sporting facility for the club, leading to widespread reports in the media that the Executive Board has opened talks with owners of the facility Kessben Group of Companies.

Mr Adu in an interview said those reports are not official communication from the board as they are yet to meet on the structures of the club.

“It’s not coming from the board; so please don’t have that notion,” he told Y FM Kumasi.

“We are a new board. We have been given the mandate, but we’ve not sat down to know the structures as of now.

“We have not taken a decision yet. Otumfuo has mandated us to make sure Kotoko owns something and we will discuss it at the board meeting,” he concluded.

The Anane Sports Stadium is located at Abrankese, near Kuntenase and built by Mr Kwabena Kesse, CEO of Kessben Group of Companies Ghana.

The facility is a 12,000-seater capacity and was built in 2007 to host games of Kessben FC, now Medeama Sporting Club. – Ghanasoccernet

Asempa FM apologizes to Sports Minister Kofi Adams

Published

on

Management of Asempa FM has issued a public apology to the Minister of Youth and Sports, Mr. Kofi Adams, after wrongly quoting him in a recent publication about the selection of players for the Black Stars.

In a statement released by the station’s management, Asempa FM admitted that a quote card shared after Kofi Adams’ interview on Ultimate Sports Show on 13th October 2025 misrepresented his actual remarks.

According to the station, the error created a wrong impression that the Sports Minister was directly involved in selecting players for the national team ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

“The wording on the artwork may have created a misleading impression. For clarity, the Honorable Minister stated that the final decision on player selection rests solely with the technical team, and he emphasized the importance of transparency and merit-based selection,” the statement said.

“We hold Kofi Adams and his office in the highest regard and deeply regret any inconvenience or misunderstanding caused,” the statement concluded.

From Fourth to First – Ghana’s Dramatic Turnaround Under Otto Addo

Published

on

When Otto Addo took charge, Ghana sat fourth in Group I with just three points from two matches — a situation that seemed daunting for even the most optimistic fans. But what followed was one of the most remarkable turnarounds in African World Cup qualifying history.

Addo’s arrival brought renewed tactical clarity and belief. He restructured the team’s shape, redefined roles, and instilled discipline in both defense and attack. The results began to flow as Ghana went on an astonishing run of victories.

The coach’s calm leadership was crucial in restoring confidence to key players who had lost form. Veterans found new motivation, while youngsters flourished under his guidance, creating a perfect blend of maturity and energy.

Each win became a statement of intent — that Ghana was back. The team’s comeback victories over tough opponents like Mali and Central African Republic showed resilience and mental fortitude.

By the end of the campaign, the Black Stars had climbed from fourth to first, topping the group with 25 points and a +17-goal difference — a clear testament to Otto Addo’s transformational leadership.

This turnaround will go down in Ghana’s football annals as a story of hope, determination, and tactical brilliance that brought the nation back to the world stage.
