President of Division One League side Kotoku Royals, Linford Asamoah says that he hopes his side will honour the people of Oda with a Premier League qualification.

The  Ghana FA Executive Council member says that he wants Eastern Region to have a representation in the Ghana Premier League since technically there is no team from the Eastern Region in the league.

The last team based in the Eastern Region that played in the league was defunct Power FC and since then no team has managed to come from there.

Oda based Kotoku Royals are currently  top of the pile in the Zone Two league with a match to end the season and are competing with Tema Youth and Liberty Professionals for the only slot to the Premier League.

The will need a win against Tema Youth in their last game to secure promotion to the Ghana Premier League next season.

“If you followed the season well, at the end of the first round we were on top of the table. Our big motivation is to have a team from the Eastern Region participating in the Premier League. The last team was Power FC. There are surrounding towns like Nsawam, Nkawkaw, Dawu, Asuom that had Premier League teams. This time around Oda also wants to write its name in Ghana football".

“We have young players who also want to make an impact and that’s motivation enough. We started to quadruple bonuses after we came on top of the league after winning the protest against Kpando Hearts of Oak. We want to honor the people of Oda with qualification to the Premier League.

“We will plead with everyone to comport themselves so we all will witness the beautiful game on Sunday. The best team will qualify and that is Kotoku Royals”, he added.

Liberty Professionals can also secure a quick return to the Premier League if Kotoku Royals  drop points against  Tema  Youth and they beat Susubiribi.
