Felix Boansi Asante Kotoko delegation has left Accra today for the United States of America to participate in the Capital City Africa Cup, set to take place in Washington, D.C. on October 12, 2024.
Asante Kotoko, in a recent club statement, acknowledged the challenges that affected the travel arrangements as several players and management members were refused visas by the American embassy.
“The event organizers have provided strong assurances that they are working diligently to resolve the visa issues for the remaining members of our team. According to their commitments, the outstanding visas will be secured by Thursday night, October 10, 2024, ahead of the scheduled match on Saturday. ”
The first group of players, consisting of Mohammed Camara, Abdulhamid Esmat, Justice Blay, Samba O’Neil, Emmanuel Antwi, Elvis Kyei Baffour, and Abdulrahman Yoouef Yagoub, along with assistant coach David Ocloo, goalkeeper coach Najahu Issah, and team manager Henry Ohene Brenya, have departed.
The contingent will be led by head coach Dr. Prosper Narteh Ogum, ensuring that initial preparations for the tournament can proceed.
We are anticipating that the next group of players and officials will join them by Friday if the organization fulfills its commitments.
Sports Alert Ghana understands that Asante Kotoko is likely to pick players from a Ghanaian Academy base in the USA to team up for their game against DC United.
