Asante Kotoko has announced the ticket prices for their upcoming friendly match against Nsoatreman FC, marking the conclusion of their pre-season preparations.

The Porcupine Warriors are set to face Nsoatreman, one of their Premier League rivals, at the Baba Yara Stadium as they gear up for the 2023/24 Ghana Premier League season.

For spectators, the entrance fees are as follows: GHC 10 for the Popular stand, GHC 30 for the Centre Line, and VIP tickets available at GHC 50.

https://twitter.com/AsanteKotoko_SC/status/1699319076542202120

This match will be the seventh friendly fixture played during their pre-season campaign and is anticipated to be one of the most challenging encounters, given Nsoatreman’s recent experience in the Premier League.

Prosper Narteh Ogum’s team has had a mixed run in their pre-season matches, including a 1-1 draw against Kharis SA, a 5-1 victory over Cornerstone, another draw against PAC Academy, and a win against Asekem FC. Their most recent encounter saw them narrowly defeat Future Stars.

The team is determined to maintain their winning momentum, rectify past setbacks, and ensure that all players, including new additions, are in top form for the demanding season ahead.

Kotoko, who finished fourth in the previous season’s standings behind Medeama SC, Aduana Stars, and Bechem United, is gearing up for their season-opening match against Heart of Lions at the Baba Yara Stadium on Sunday, September 17.
