Your Output Must Match Asantehene’s Substantial Investment; Herbert Mensah to Kotoko

Asante Kotoko SC has been tasked with producing outcomes that reflect the substantial investment by Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, the owner and life patron.

The former Chairman of Kotoko, Herbert Mensah, opines that the club should be competing at global stage as an honour to the King who singlehandedly shoulders the financial responsibility of the Porcupines.

“You must get back up to be at the world club championship. Bring the glory back. Otumfuo has invested. It is not Otumfuo’s job to invest in Kotoko. It is the responsibility of the Board to invest. It is an honour and a privilege to run Asante Kotoko.”

He delivered these remarks at the instance of the King of the Asante Kingdom, on June 18, 2025, during the fifth Awukudae Festival when the 2024/2025 MTN FA Cup champions presented their trophy at the Manhyia Palace.

A delegation including the Interim Management Committee (IMC), coaches, management, players, supporters, and former players made the presentation.

Kotoko added to their illustrious history by clinching the MTN FA Cup over the weekend after pipping Golden Kicks 2-1 at the University of Ghana Sports Stadium.

Presenting the trophy, the Chairman of the Interim Management Committee (IMC), Nana Apinkra Akwasi Awuah, said Kotoko started the season with an aspiration of winning the two titles however grave mistakes cost them the league title.

Notwithstanding that, he said they were successful in the FA competition which started with 64 teams.

He said the club deemed it imperative to win the trophy to honour the King for the substantial investment he had made in the club within the season which included the GHc4.5 million he gave the club to buy new players ahead of the season.
