8:30am – Asante Kotoko CEO George Amoako has the believe clubs in the country are not yet ready to battle with other teams in Africa for the CAF inter-club competitions titles.
According to him, the difference in gap between Ghanaian clubs and their peers in Africa is wide and they need to put in the extra effort to close the margin.
Speaking to Asempa FM, he said "Other African clubs are miles ahead of us, we need to work hard to bridge the gap as it is possible to catch up.
"As we speak now no club in Ghana can win the CAF Confederations or Champions league. Ghanaian clubs have a long way to go We need to do a lot, to meet the standard out there" Amoako said.
