Asante Kotoko raise over GHS 50,000 from their Virtual Seat Challenge for Accra Lions match
Ghana Premier League giants Kumasi Asante Kotoko have announced that they raised almost GHS 51,000 from their Virtual Seat Challenge ahead of the league match against Accra Lions.
The club tweeted that they had made a total of GHS 50,963.41, a figure they said was the largest they had made since they began the challenge.
Frank Mbella scored his second hat-trick of the season as Kotoko beat Lions 3-1 at the Baba Yara Stadium to maintain their six-point lead at the top of the Premier League to Bechem United.
The club was full of gratitude to all who contributed to the challenge for their “enviable generosity and unending love for Krobea.”

“Yɛ da mo ase pii and do also remember that we go again,” Kotoko’s tweet added.
Kotoko introduced the Virtual Seat Challenge to enable fans of the club pay for seats at the stadium in spite of attendance limitations at the various stadia across the country with the government announcing that 25% of fans will be allowed into various stadiums.
The club’s supporters from all the 16 regions in the country have risen to the challenge all season, with the highest coming in last weekend.
Asante Kotoko will be hoping to rake in more when they lock horns with sworn rivals Hearts of Oak in their rescheduled first-round tie on Sunday at the Accra Sports Stadium.
