Public Relations Officer for Akyem Kotoku Royals, Okatakyie Afrifa, says competing in the Access Bank Division One Zone 3 is very tricky but he believes the club will return to the Ghanaian top flight in three years.
He said this in an exclusive interview with Citi Sports as the club prepares to compete in the minor league after getting relegated from the 2022-2023 BetPawa Ghana Premier League season.
Afrifa believes the club’s prior experience competing and gaining promotion to the elite level from the division will come in handy for Kotoku Royals.
“When you are relegated from the Premier League and you are going back to Zone 3 in Division One it’s one of the most tricky zones as far as division one is concerned. The only thing that will help Kotoku Royals is that we have a lot of experience as far as division one is concerned so let’s give ourselves the next three years, we are sure Kotoku Royals can return to the Ghana top flight”.
Kotoku suffered relegation in its first ever run in the Ghanaian top division after finishing bottom of the 18 team league standings winning just seven games in the process.
