Spokesperson for Berekum Chelsea, Isaac Obeng, has heaped praises on Asante Kotoko SC, branding them as the best team in the Ghana Premier League.

Speaking on Luv FM ahead of the 2025/26 season opener, Obeng acknowledged the challenge that lies ahead as his team prepare to host the Porcupine Warriors in their first fixture.

The highly anticipated encounter presents a significant challenge for Chelsea as they look to recover from last season’s disappointing 12th-place finish.

“After I saw it, I called Coach Samuel Boadu to discuss it, and he feels the same thing as we're all feeling that the game will be a very difficult game.

“We're looking at the recruitment, Kumasi Asante and I can say Asante Kotoko is the best team so far in Ghana.

“So, the team left Berekum yesterday to Kumasi, and when they were going, we told them that the preparation that we are going to do in Kumasi should be an intensive one, because our first three games is not an easy game.

“So, we are hoping to beat Kumasi Asante, Kotoko, which we know is a very difficult game in Berekum,” he said.
