The leadership of Kumasi Asante Kotoko paid a courtesy call on the hierarchy of StarTimes Ghana on Thursday December 9,2021.
The Asante Kotoko team which was led by C.E.O, Nana Yaw Amponsah together with the Administrative Manager, Mr Emmanuel Newton Dasoberi, were warmly received by the Chairman of StarTimes Ghana, Maxwell Techie.
Both parties discussed issues of concern and have resolved to work together for their mutual benefit.
One issue that was discussed was an incident that occurred on Sunday, December 5, 2021, when a section of Asante Kotoko fans accused StarTimes of influencing a referee’s decision to overrule a penalty call in their favour.
This led to an attack on the hardworking television production crew of StarTimes at the Kumasi Baba Yara Sports Stadium.
As the official broadcaster of the Ghana Premier league, StarTimes in a bid to have a harmonious working relationship with all stakeholders of Ghana football, welcomed the management of Kotoko, listened to their concerns and ironed out all pending unpleasant tension among its cherished fans.
