Kotoko to reinforce squad with ‘mercenaries’ as Medeama withdraw for DC United clash
After Medeama SC's withdrawal from the planned joint squad with Asante Kotoko SC for their match against DC United in the Capital City Africa Cup, Kotoko has shifted their strategy.
They are now looking to recruit US-based Ghanaian players to strengthen their squad for the high-profile encounter.
This move comes after the initial plan for Medeama to provide players with valid US visas fell through due to backlash from Kotoko supporters.
The need for reinforcements is critical as Kotoko faces logistical challenges, especially after their visa issues.
By seeking US-based Ghanaian players, they aim to fill the gap left by Medeama’s departure and maintain a competitive edge against the Major League Soccer (MLS) side, DC United.
Some fans and football connoisseurs have condemned the decision for Kotoko to form a team with mercenaries for the upcoming game as they claim it’s highly unprofessional.
The match remains a key part of the 2024 Ghana Week DC celebrations, spotlighting Ghanaian culture and football talent on a global platform.
Kotoko’s ability to quickly adapt to these challenges will be essential as they represent Ghanaian football on the international stage.
Despite the obstacles, Kotoko remains determined to field a strong team for the much-anticipated fixture.
