Ghana Premier League giants Asante Kotoko are set to boost their financial fortunes when they engage the Black Stars in a highly-anticipated friendly today.

The Porcupine Warriors come up against the Senior national team following the cancelation of their AFCON 2019 qualifier with the Leone Stars of Sierra Leone by FIFA.

The team was due to play their West African neighbours in the qualifiers on Thursday but the game was rescinded due to the government of Sierra Leone's interference in the activities of the SLFA.

The match kicks off at 4pm at the Baba Yara Stadium.

The Fabulous club is set to benefit hugely from gate proceeds as football-starved fans in Kumasi are expected to troop in their numbers to rally behind their team.
