Players of Asante Kotoko before a game
Asante Kotoko are reportedly set to embark on a pre-season tour of South Africa in early July 2025 as part of preparations for the 2025/26 Ghana Premier League campaign and their possible participation in the CAF Confederation Cup.
According to reports by Kessben TV, the initiative is being championed by the club’s life patron, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, who is said to be deeply involved in the planning process.
The move reflects his ongoing commitment to the club’s revival and long-term success.
The Porcupine Warriors are expected to play a series of friendly matches against South African clubs during the tour.
These fixtures are aimed at boosting team cohesion, sharpening match fitness, and testing tactical approaches ahead of the competitive season.
The pre-season tour also forms part of a broader strategy to strengthen the squad and foster unity within the team.
With several new additions expected to join the club, the tour will provide valuable game time and allow the technical team to assess player chemistry and readiness.
Reports suggest that Asante Kotoko view the South Africa trip as a key part of their build-up for the 2025/26 season, especially with continental football on the horizon.
The club is targeting a strong return to form after a transitional period, and preparations are being taken seriously.
Backed by Otumfuo Osei Tutu II and a newly assembled squad, Asante Kotoko are aiming to restore their status as a dominant force in Ghanaian and African football. The upcoming tour is seen as a crucial step in that journey.
