Asante Kotoko have confirmed their planned friendly with an unnamed Spanish club this year has fallen through.
The Ghanaian champions in a release earlier this year revealed they were in talks with an unnamed Spanish top flight club to play a sensational friendly in Kumasi.
Reports later emerged that the unnamed Spanish club was Seville even though the club declined to confirm the identity of the mystery club.
The clubââ¬â¢s spokesman Ali Maradona has now confirmed that the initial plan to stage the friendly this year has been shelved.
He however revealed that a new plan to play the friendly next year to coincide with Kotokoââ¬â¢s 80th anniversary is being hatched.
ââ¬ÅWe were arranging a friendly based on the initially set date for the commencement of the Ghana Premier League,â⬠Ali Maradona told Metro FM.
ââ¬ÅBut we all know what has happened with the postponement of the league and how it doesnââ¬â¢t fit in the program of the Spanish club.
ââ¬ÅTherefore we look to do the arrangement again to coincide with Kotokoââ¬â¢s 80th anniversary which is next year.ââ¬
Kotoko have won the Ghana Premier League for the past three seasons and are determined to make a more meaningful impact on their return to the CAF Champions League.
