Berekum Chelsea's Oduro Sarfo calls for restraint in hype around Kotoko

Nana Oduro Sarfo, the Director of Berekum Chelsea, has called on football fans to temper their enthusiasm regarding Asante Kotoko, suggesting that the club lacks distinctive qualities that warrant the high regard often afforded to them.

Asante Kotoko is set to face Berekum Chelsea at the Golden City Park in the Matchday four fixtures of the 2024/25 Ghana Premier League on Sunday, with both teams currently sitting on four points, each with one outstanding match.

In an interview ahead of the encounter, Oduro Sarfo, who also serves as an Executive Council member of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), drew a comparison between Kotoko and debutant team Young Apostles.

He stated, “What’s so special about Asante Kotoko? They are just like Young Apostles, so stop the hype around them.”

He further criticized the excessive optimism surrounding Kotoko, asserting that it gives their supporters “false hopes.”

The match promises to be an exciting clash as both teams aim to enhance their positions in the league.

It is scheduled to kick off at 15:00 GMT on Sunday, setting the stage for a competitive showdown.
