Asante Kotoko could play English giant Manchester United
By Ameenu Shardow
Asante Kotoko have received an invitation to play in a four-team tournament with Manchester United as participants in South Africa.
The tournament being played in honour of South Aftica’s first president Nelson Mandela is slated to come off in July.
The Porcupine Warriors will be battling the English giants alongside the PSL duo of Sundowns and Amazulu.
Kotoko’s Public and Supporter Relations Manager Listowell Bukarson in confirming the news says it is in recognition of the great strides made by the club under the Dr. K K Sarpong led administration.
“We are delighted at the invitation. It adds to the recognition of the enhanced corperate Kotoko brand,” he told GHANAsoccernet.com
“It tells also of the professionalism at Kotoko under the leadership of DR. K.K Sarpong.
“Its exciting for us to have this rear opportunity to play against Manchester United in a tournament in honor of a great personality like Nelson Mandela.”
Bukarson adds the club will be looking to take full advantage of the opportunity that comes with playing in this tourney.
“Kotoko have positioned itself to maximise PR and marketing mileage that comes with this monumental invitation.”
Kotoko are just a point away from sealing an historic 22nd league feat with five games more left to go in the Ghanaian top flight.

HAHAHAHAHAAAHHHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHA OH KWEKU ABA… HAHAHAHAHA OSEEEYYYYYYYYYYY FABULOUS. WE IN SOUTH AFRICA WILL ENJOY IN JULY HAHAHAHAHA AM GLAD AND HAPPY
eeeeiii Kweku,Thanks for making me laugh this early morning,hahahaha
We should’t treat this piece of good news with too much hope, it could either materialize with US taking part or may happen without US. So my fellow FABU faithfuls let US mellow Our excitements and wait till the tourney materialise with US participating, then WE could SMILE @ our one more achievement and then LAUGH @ YAA NOM. WE can even invite people like SETH and BOSS of CINCAASE to come and catch a glimpse of INNER and OUTER beauty of OUR dear CLUB. May be that could convince them of OUR dear CLUB’s clout AND superior status to their decadent…..
Hehehe…Fresher, my knowledge about this management tells me the deal is done. Since Dr. KK came to power, they have never published anything in the Kotoko Express which has not come to pass, they have never allowed Listowel to go on air when it is not a done deal, so relax, enjoy, make merry and be happy because it is coming on live. Sunderland will follow in the course of the year. There are a lot of international friendlies being lined up to prepare the team for next season, this is just the beggining.
It is previledge to play this tournament in front of the first black president of S A Nelson Mandela if we dont have the chance to play Man U.this is good signal for my Darling club KUMASI ASANTE KOTOKO,This invitation is bcos of the good mgt we have under Dr Sarpong and the quality of players,technical team we have.so hat of oath ( BOKO HARAM ) to learn from the University of Football club ( FABULOUS )Thank you the tournament organiser for opening their eyes wide and choose the right team of the moment for right tournament.PHOOOBRIIIMMMM …….FABULOUS THE BEST …..

What a stupid response. So if not or Dr KK Sarpong Kotoko would not have been recognized? Is this what he is trying to say? KK has only been with Kotoko a very short time and the lub has been in existence fur much longer. I think Listowell should be careful how he sucks up to KK. I don’t have a Robles with that but not at the expense of he club. Nonsense!
Have u guys forgotten so soon that Asante Kotoko is Africa’s Club of the Century! Let me remind you that, Real Madrid is our peer and not Man. Utd. Cheers!
We thank you for calling us names. I’ve always called for maturity on this panel. Well, it looks like Dr Sarpong is really doing something that has been missing for a long time. This is what was being done decades ago by the Oak, who had very elite people then. We were able to play the World Greates Pele and his Santos people right here in Accra. Dr, well done for learning from the Soccer Paradise. Use it well in the University of Kumasi Soccer. The Oak tree had to shed some branches……we are back now.
Real Madrid has many Super Cups in Europe brother. Yes, that may be your peer. But not even Hearts come closer the way the Egyptian clubs do. So relax, the time will come. Africanb Club of the Century by IFFS , not FIFA, hahaha. I can do the same, and based on my parameters, Aduana could be the African Club of the Century so don’t be excited by that. Even the Europeans will laugh at us if we present Kotoko as Club of the century. Where are El Ahly and Zamalek, not to talk of Hearts or Esperance. You know what they have in common? Find out!!!!
@ KT:- I am not surprised by your cynical comments, which I may attribute in some measure to excessive jealousy. A kind of jealousy that turns those who possess it into destructive black WITCHES and WIZARDS. Our club’s IMAGE and AURA is everywhere, our club’s VISION is fixed and is SOARING towards the PINNACLE of professionalism, whereas your Boko Haram club’s EYES, IMAGE and PSYCHE lingers And is still lingering in the middle of an endless BUSH amateurism. Aho’o ya be ku mu. My rgds to TERROR and Seth.
Fabu emu ede yie
Which former hearts player stole a watch in Isreal? I hv forgotton the name… is it Don Bortey? Thts y they cant invite them to any internatinal tournaments like this cos player like Kofi Abanga that name sounds seriuos he can b vry fast in the dressing room.He can steal Rooney’s iphone or ipod who knows.Akronfou.
