Champions Asante Kotoko
By Ameenu Shardow
Asante Kotoko will inaugurate a board on Saturday to oversee the club’s academy program dubbed ‘The Fabulous Academy’.
The inauguration follows management’s decision to make the academy a priority in order to cut down the huge costs of recruitment.
The Premier League champions have spent massively this off-season to bring in players for their league defence and also to power their title ambitions on their return to the CAF Champions League.
“The Fabulous Academy program will provide the grounds for nurturing players from our feeder teams of Tutu Stars, Anokye Stars as well as our reserve side,” Kotoko’s spokesman Listowell Yesu Bukarson told GHANAsoccernet.com
“It will also adopt several feeder teams around the country to search for players to be eventually drafted into the senior team.
“This program is expected to save Kotoko the huge costs of buying players and thereby will save the club a lot of money over the years.”
The inauguration which will be performed by Executive Chairman Dr. K.K Sarpong will take place at the Conference Room of the Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi.

now this is what we need…kotoko seems to have the idea…hopefully other clubs will follow soon and hopefully we can have a legit youth system instead of having u20 players who captain their clubs…i mean come on GFA who r u seriously trying to fool. as if an 18 or 19 year old can actually captain a club.
We hope to see such an innovation in Kotoko. It shouldn’t be nine days wonder project and the players should be gradually drafted into the senior team from this academy. Thanks to all the management team for their good work. Faaaaaaabulous ! The Best !
It is a good idea so let us all pray that this time around it will work.A lot of good ideas has come and gone without any achievement .FABU THE BEST
Thank you Dr Sarpong,these are some of the ideas we ( Kotoko SC ) needed long time ago so that it will limit the monies we use in buying of players but we rather will be selling them to make monies….FABU THE PACESETTERS….FABU THE BEST.
