Asante Kotoko part ways with Abdul Fatawu Safiu
Asante Kotoko has officially ended its contract with forward Abdul Fatawu Safiu due to health-related reasons.
The termination comes after the club conducted a pre-competition medical assessment, as mandated by the Ghana Football Association (GFA), and identified underlying health issues during further tests.
“Asante Kotoko entered into an employment contract with the player in order to meet registration deadlines as announced by the Ghana Football Association, and had to ensure that the player undergoes the pre-competition medical assessment which is the basic and compulsory requirement by the GFA. ” the club confirmed on their website
“This medical assessment was duly done awaiting further tests. The further assessment by the club’s medical team revealed other health related issues which could rule him out for a long period. The club, after being informed about the situation, concluded that continuing an employment contract with the player would not be of full benefit to both parties – the club and the player. Details of the specific medical condition have been clearly communicated to the player.”
Additionally, the GFA has rejected Fatawu’s registration, further influencing the club’s decision to terminate the relationship.
Asante Kotoko wishes Abdul Fatawu Safiu the best for the future, emphasizing that he remains part of the club family and is welcome to contribute in any capacity in the future.
