Ghanaian giants Asante Kotoko Sporting Club have officially announced the formation of their women’s football team, Asante Kotoko Ladies, marking a historic milestone in the club’s expansion into the women’s game.
The Porcupine Warriors unveiled the new side on November 14, 2026, with the initiative forming part of the club’s long-term development strategy and its commitment to promoting women’s football in Ghana.
The establishment of Asante Kotoko Ladies also ensures the club complies with CAF Club Licensing Regulations, which require clubs competing in CAF inter-club competitions to have an affiliated women’s team.
The women’s side was formed following the board’s acquisition of an existing local women’s league club, providing Kotoko with an immediate platform to compete while accelerating the club’s entry into the women’s football landscape.
Preparations for the team’s inaugural campaign are already underway, with players having begun training at the Asem Astro Turf in Kumasi ahead of the new season.
The launch of Asante Kotoko Ladies represents another significant chapter in the club’s illustrious history as it seeks to build a sustainable football structure that caters for both the men’s and women’s game.
Club officials are expected to announce further details regarding the technical team, player roster and competition schedule in the coming weeks as the newly formed side prepares for its competitive debut.
