Asante Kotoko’s Communications Director, Samuel Sarfo Duku, has asserted that Ghana’s Black Stars cannot compete at the 2026 FIFA World Cup without players from the club.
The Porcupine Warriors, currently leading the 2024/25 Ghana Premier League, recently secured a spot in the FA Cup semifinals after a hard-fought 2-1 victory over lower-tier side True Democracy at the Baba Yara Stadium.
With Ghana edging closer to World Cup qualification, Sarfo Duku believes Kotoko’s players are deserving of a place in Otto Addo’s squad for the tournament, which will be hosted in the USA, Canada, and Mexico next year.
“There cannot be a Black Stars without an Asante Kotoko player for the 2026 World Cup,” he told Kumasi-based Akoma FM.
“All our players deserve a call-up, and they should be there,” he added.
Ghana’s national team currently sits atop Group I with 15 points, following consecutive wins against Chad and Madagascar in the Matchday 5 and 6 qualifiers.
The Black Stars will return to action in September for crucial clashes against Chad and Mali in Matchday 7 and 8.
