Asante Kotoko’s management has made a significant decision ahead of their crucial Ghana Premier League Matchday 32 clash against Accra Great Olympics this Sunday. Talented goalkeeper, Fredrick Asare, has been recalled to the team to bolster their chances of securing a vital victory in the upcoming fixture.
Asare, a key player for the Reds, will be making his way to Kumasi for the highly anticipated match and is expected to rejoin the Black Stars camp on Monday. The former Accra Lions goalkeeper has been a pivotal figure in head coach Otto Addo’s 26-man squad, which has been selected for Ghana’s 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Mali and the Central African Republic.
The Black Stars are set to face Mali in their first qualifier on Thursday, June 6, 2024, at Stade 26 Mars in Bamako, with kick-off scheduled for 19:00. This will be followed by a crucial clash against the Central African Republic at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium on Monday, June 10, 2024.
Currently occupying the 4th spot in Group I, the Black Stars are aiming to secure victories in both matches to enhance their chances of qualifying for the World Cup, which is set to be hosted in the USA, Canada, and Mexico. Meanwhile, Asante Kotoko finds themselves in 10th place on the league table with 43 points after 31 games, as they look to finish the season strongly and climb up the standings.
