The Board of Directors of Kumasi Asante Kotoko will embark on a tour of Sunderland for an exchange programme next month.

The October trip which is organized by the English Premier League side is to re-affirm their commitment to the partnership deal that exists between the two clubs.

Commercial Director of Sunderland Gary Hutchinson who confirmed the exchange programme for the Kotoko Board of directors to Joy sports believes this will help the current board to learn the full operations of Sunderland and replicate it in the development of Kotoko.

"We have invited the Kotoko Board to come and visit us in early October," said Hutchinson.

"They are coming to look at our full operations and see how it works and bring the best practices back to Ghana to run Kotoko in various forms.

"They will also engage in various discussions which are all geared towards cementing a good partnership between the two parties."
