Dr Kofi Amoah hints at financial support for Asante Kotoko in Caf Confed

Published on: 30 January 2019

GFA Normalisation Committee chairman Dr. Kofi Amoah has hinted his outfit will offer financial assistance to help Asante Kotoko reduce their burden in the Caf Confederation Cup.

The Porcupine Warriors are only club representing Ghana at Caf inter-club competition this season, having reached the group stage of the Caf Confederation Cup for the first time in 11 years.

They will open their campaign against Al Hilal in Sudan on Sunday.

"There is an iota of truth in the rumours that we want to support Kotoko with some funds but I cannot confirm it now, " Amoah told Atinka FM.

"The clubs that qualify to Africa have a huge financial burden and so we want to create some funds to support them just like the subsidy to cocoa farmers in Ghana.

"We are still on the deliberation table so when we firm up a decision, the Normalisation Committee will come out with it for everyone to know what the package will entail for Kotoko and other clubs in the future," he added.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Youth and Sports have reduced the financial burden of the Reds with an amount of US$ 150,000 for reaching the group stage of the 2018/19 CAF Confederation Cup.
