Chief Executive Officer of Asante Kotoko has pleaded with the government to help them in their preparation for the CAF Champions League next season.
Amposah, who guided the club to their first league title in 7 years claims that if the government gives them $1million, their Africa campaign will be much easier and help them to perform better.
“If the Government of the day can vote $6m or $8m for Black Stars for the Afcon, why can’t the same Government help clubs participating in Africa with a $1m support.” He quizzed
“Winning the league only gives the winner $30000 which cannot play one home game in Africa, so the prize money is not exciting.”
The CEO further expressed his disappointment over the lack of sponsorship for the league.
“No sponsorship for the league and we cannot use the same budget here to perform well in Africa.
The likes of Al Ahly run a budget of $90m a year, we at Kotoko this season at my time run about $2m. So if we want to go and do well, we should prepare and have the support of the entire nation.
“However, I will like to send a message to the entire nation, His Excellency Nana Addo Danquah that Ghana used to have four slots in Africa, but now we have two because we don’t perform well when we go”
“when Kotoko goes to Africa this time around, we are not only there for the interest of the club but the entire nation.”
Kumasi Asante Kotoko has already won the Ghana Premier League with three more games to play.
