Asante Kotoko have arrived in Ghana following their exit from the CAF Confederation Cup after losing their final group game against Zesco United on Sunday at the Levy Mwanawasa Sports Stadium in Ndola.

The Porcupine Warriors needed a win to qualify to the quarter-finals of the competition. Kotoko surrendered a 1-0 lead in the opening minutes of the second half to lose the game by 2-1.

The team after arriving at the Kotoka International Airport at noon will continue their journey to Kumasi and start preparations for the upcoming Normalisation Committee Special Competition.

Asante Kotoko was Ghana's sole representative in Africa this season.

Meanwhile three players of Asante Kotoko have been invited to join the Black Stars ahead of their AFCON qualifier against Kenya on March 23.

The Kotoko trio of Amos Frimpong, Kwame Bonsu and Felix Annan who have been invited will join the Black Stars team here in Accra.
