Speaking in an interview on FOX 97.9 FM, Sampson Deen confirmed that the game will be played in London and will be watched by more than 200 FIFA and UEFA player and coaches agents.
“It’s true Kotoko and Hearts of Oak will play a friendly match in London at the Barnet stadium. This match will be watched by over 200 FIFA and UEFA player and coaches agents. The Hotel where Asante Kotoko will lodge is where we worked on the over 1000 tickets for the game which will be brought for sale in Ghana for everyone who wishes to go to get some and buy,†he said.
Samson Deen called on the supporters to be content with the limited tickets due to the challenges the organisers will face should they go the stated number.
"We should be satisfied with the 1000 tickets because Visa processing will take about five days, so if we go beyond 1000 it will be a problem. It’s an opportunity given to you the supporter by Asante Kotoko and Accra Hearts of Oak, so we are doing it to help our supporters to bring back the love. So we are doing it very cheap for all, GHC15000 can help you make this trip after acquiring your Ghanaian passportâ€.
Kotoko and Hearts are the most successful clubs in the history of the domestic league, having won the title on 23 and 19 occasions respectively.
