Former Asante Kotoko CEO, Samuel Opoku Nti, is oozing confidence ahead of the highly anticipated Democracy Cup clash against Hearts of Oak. The upcoming match between the two Ghanaian giants is scheduled for Wednesday, July 17th at the Accra Sports Stadium, with kick-off set for 18:00GMT to celebrate 30 years of democratic governance in Ghana.
In an interview on Asempa FM, Opoku Nti, a club legend, expressed his unwavering belief in Asante Kotoko’s ability to secure a historic third consecutive victory over their arch-rivals. “Asante Kotoko will definitely defeat Hearts of Oak on Wednesday. The club has been bolstering its squad with top-quality players this season,” he confidently stated.
Opoku Nti also addressed past shortcomings and praised the efforts of the Interim Management Committee in rectifying mistakes. “We are focused on achieving three successive wins over Hearts of Oak, a rare feat in any season. Although Hearts of Oak holds a 4-0 record against Asante Kotoko, we are determined to level that statistic,” he emphasized.
Asante Kotoko’s back-to-back wins against Hearts of Oak in the 2023/24 Ghana Premier League season have set the stage for another thrilling encounter between the two traditional rivals. Fans can expect an intense battle on the pitch as both teams vie for supremacy.
Before the main event, a friendly match between parliamentarians and former Black Stars players will take place at the same venue, adding to the excitement of the celebratory occasion. Football enthusiasts and supporters of both clubs are eagerly anticipating this clash of titans, as the Democracy Cup promises to be a spectacle to remember.
