This weekend, the seven Asante Kotoko players who left for the Capital City Africa Cup in the United States of America will return to Ghana.
According to a club statement, the players will arrive in the nation on Sunday, October 13.
Additionally, we want to let our supporters know that the first contingent—which consists of seven players and technical staff—will return to Ghana on Sunday, October 13, 2024.
Asante Kotoko said on Thursday that "the team will immediately redirect its focus upon their return to establishing and building on our great start to the Ghana Premier League season, assuring continuing success in the domestic campaign."
The Ghanaian team announced their decision to withdraw from the Capital City Africa Cup in a letter.
The club stated, "We regretfully announce our decision to withdraw from the Capital City Africa Cup, which is set to take place on Saturday, October 12, 2024, in Washington, D.C."
The inability to obtain visas for the remaining players to join the seven players in the United States is the reason for the Cup's withdrawal.
