Having been crowned champions of the 2021/22 Ghana Premier League season, the Porcupine Warriors will represent the country in the CAF Champions League next season.

Speaking to Kumasi-based Akoma FM, the National Youth Organizer of the ruling New Patriotic Party [NPP] heaped praise on Asante Kotoko for their success this season.

While urging the team to improve on its attack, Awuku further assured that the team will receive support for the Africa campaign.

“I believe that in terms of tactical discipline, it's been good, their scoring ability is what they (Kotoko) should work on.

“You cannot waste such opportunities in Africa. But their overall game plan looks very fantastic.

“Government will do its part, same as the NLA and also the Ministry of Youth and Sports to raise funds for Kotoko to do well in Africa,” Sammi Awuku said.
