Ashantigold play host to Great Olympics in the 2019/2020 league opener at the Obuasi Lenclay Stadium on Sunday December 29.

The Aboakese lads have had a quite Pre-season since their elimination in the CAF Confederations.

The imminent departure of their Brazilian coach Ricardo De Rocha will affect the team after taking them throughout the pre-season.

Ashantigold have been quite in this transfer window but have been able to keep their stars ahead of the start of the league on Sunday.

The likes of Shafiu Mumuni, James Akaminko Amos Addai, and Latif Anabila are still with the club and are likely to feature on Sunday against Olympics.

Just like Ashantigold who lost their coach few days to the start of the league, Great Olympics also saw their head coach resign a week to the start of the league.

Young but brilliant coach Prince Koffie has been chosen to replace Isaac Nii Armah who resigned from the club citing personal reasons.

Great Olympics have a had good pre-season and they will be looking to replicate that in the league.

Emmanuel Clottey has rejoined the club and he will be looking to use his experience to help the club survive in the league.

The likes of Godfred Saka and veteran player Bernard Don Bortey will be hoping to showcase what they still got after triumph in the Ghana Premier League.
