The Chief Executive Officer of the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA), Richard Ofori Agyemang, has promised a cash reward to motivate Asante Kotoko players ahead of their fierce showdown with Hearts of Oak in the 2025 President’s Cup.
The Mayor has pledged to reward Kotoko players with $200 for every goal they score against their arch-rivals, with an extra incentive to hit five goals and pocket a total of $1,000.
Speaking at the team’s training grounds on Monday, June 30, where he was accompanied by Ashanti Regional Minister Frank Amoakohene, Ofori Agyemang urged the players to make the Ashanti Region proud by putting Hearts to the sword.
“We want you to give us five goals. Every goal you score, you will earn $200. We will bring the money to the stadium. If you can score the five goals, you will earn $1,000. So, on Sunday, just make sure you beat Hearts of Oak for us,” he told the squad.
The Porcupine Warriors will lock horns with their old rivals on Sunday, July 6, at the Accra Sports Stadium, with kick-off at 4 pm.
President John Dramani Mahama is expected to be in the stands for the much-anticipated clash between the country’s two most decorated clubs.
