Administrator for Kumasi-based club, King Faisal, Alhaji Karim Grunsah says Kumasi Asante Kotoko and Ashanti Gold will fail to make an impression in Africa next season.
The two clubs will represent Ghana in the CAF inter-club competitions following the truncation of the Ghana Premier League season on Tuesday.
Asante Kotoko will feature in the CAF Champions League while AshGold has the slot for the CAF Confederation Cup.
But Grunsah does not believe the two clubs are ready, telling Kumasi FM, he expects them to go and ‘disgrace’ themselves.
“Allow them to go and disgrace themselves”.
“They represented the country during the era of the Normalization Committee but brought nothing better but shame.
“No one can seize them from participating once they have their money but they should be mindful, especially with their gate proceeds [now unavailable]. Some management members capitalize on that to dupe the club.
“Nonetheless, we [Ghana] cannot waste our slot hence they can keep on trying [to make an impression in Africa]. It may be better for them someday.”
Background
The Ghana Premier League (GPL) was terminated at Matchweek 15 after months of the league being halted due to the outbreak of Coronavirus.
