It has now become a norm, as coach Abdul Karim Zito and his technical team love and like to take up any opportunity to play a friendly when it arises. And once again he made use of the opportunity where he and his team came up against Ashanti regional division two finalists Benab football club. A low profile match to put his players in the mood for competitive football. Remember that they have two big games ahead of them. The closest one is the super clash that comes of in the form of the 2025 President Cup and it comes off just this Sunday the 6th of July 2025. 
And on this occasion the coach made it a point to try almost all his players against the division 2 side. Benab FC and Asante Kotoko at the end played a 1 - 1 draw. This is a game that many may see as a let down but seeing it on the technical side the team would be really glad for such an exercise. Benab would also see it as one game that would help their boys face with the defenders of the latest edition of the MTN FA cup.
The last time this two teams met in a competitive game was in the MTN FA cup and the porcupines would by 2 goals to 1 against this team. And that has been their only official game. After the big game on Sunday the team after few days would fly to the beautiful country of South Africa where they would be playing this year's Toyota cup against Kaiser chiefs.
The chairman of the interim management committee was in South Africa to finalise things with the team in the city of Durban. It's now a thing of formalities. Thanks very much for joining us and reading all this with us. We here really appreciate all your efforts.
