Asante Kotoko Chief Executive Officer (CEO) George Amoako has revealed that the club is missing out on big sponsorship deals as a result of the inactive football season.
George Amoako has explicitly said the club is unable to entice sponsors for big deals due to lack of competitive football in the country.
Undercover reporter Anas Aremeyaw Anas conducted an investigation which captured referees as well as football officials taking money to influence matches. The undercover journalist on 6th and 7th June 2018, premiered the investigative piece at the Accra Conference Center.
FIFA/CAF upon this, appointed a Normalization Committee to bring Ghana football back to normalcy.
According to the Kotoko CEO, the halt of the football competitions has cost the club big sponsorship deals.
