The Communications Director for Asante Kotoko Moses Antwi-Benefo has disclosed to Happy Sports that his side will write to the Sports Ministry to plead for the fans to attend their CAF Champions League preliminary round second leg against FC Nouadibou on Sunday.
Asante Kotoko secured a good result away in Mauritania against FC Nouadibou as the game ended 1-1 in the first leg.
Speaking in an interview on Wamputu Sports with Odiasempa Kwame Oware on Happy 98.9FM Moses Antwi Benefo said, “We are going to write to the government through the Sports Ministry to allow to us admit fans to the Accra Sports Stadium for the game”.
“When we went to Mauritania, we inquired from them how the fans were allowed into the stadium to watch the game. They told us that the country’s COVID-19 protocols allows the fans to come to the stadium. So we will plead with the government to allow us to admit about 20,000 fans to the Accra Sports Stadium as we can observe the social distancing properly at the facility”
He also touched on Asante Kotoko’s decision to move their games to Tamale.
“We have written to the GFA to allow us to play our home games at the Tamale Sports Stadium. We intend to honour only our Premier League games in Tamale. If the FA accepts our plea it will help bring back the love and also boost commercial activities in the region”.
