Asante Kotoko goalkeeper Fredrick Asare has fired a warning shot ahead of their Democracy Cup clash against Hearts of Oak, expressing his belief that the Porcupine Warriors will rewrite the narrative of Hearts of Oak's usual trophy success.
The two Ghanaian giants are set to meet on Wednesday, July 17th, 2024, at the Accra Sports Stadium to commemorate 30 years of parliamentary democracy under the Fourth Republic. This first Democracy Cup match promises to be a heated affair.
During a press conference held at Parliament House on Tuesday, Asare spoke with unwavering confidence about Kotoko's chances of overcoming the Phobians.
"The Narrative of Hearts of Oak winning maiden trophies is going to change tomorrow because it's a new era," he declared.
The stage is set for a thrilling doubleheader. Before the main event featuring Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko, a mini-friendly will see former Black Stars players take on Parliamentarians, kicking off at 1 pm. The highly anticipated Hearts of Oak versus Asante Kotoko clash will follow at 6 pm.
Adding another layer of intrigue, the winner of the Hearts of Oak versus Asante Kotoko match will have the honour of representing Ghana in a friendly match against DC United in Washington.
