Champions, Kotoko were initially set to participate in the tournament alongside Medeama, Bechem United, Karela United, Great Olympics, and Hearts of Oak, who finished in the other top six places in the 2021/22 Ghana Premier League.
It is unknown whether the reported resignation of the club’s head coach, Prosper Narteh Ogum is one of the reasons why the Porcupine Warriors have opted out of the competition.
