‘Support Kotoko Board or their wives may advise them to quit’ – Sarfo Duku
The Board constituted in February 2026 is chaired by the Chief Executive Officer of Joshob Construction, James Osei Brown.
Former Asante Kotoko Communications Director Sarfo Duku has cautioned football supporters that the club's Board of Directors might reconsider their positions if the club does not receive adequate financial support from its fans. The board, established in February 2026, is chaired by James Osei Brown of Joshob Construction, with Kwasi Osei Ofori of Rocksure as vice-chairman and Kofi Amoa-Abban of Rigworld Group as a member.
Duku stressed to Luv FM that the financial requirements of managing a football club of Asante Kotoko's magnitude are immense, making external support, sponsorships, and fan contributions vital for the club's long-term viability. One of the most pressing concerns for the board, according to Duku, is the personal financial strain that members may face, with wives advising them to resign.
The communications director emphasized that fan attendance is a key factor in supporting the club financially. Strong turnouts at matches can generate substantial gate revenues and make the club more appealing to prospective sponsors. "The financial burden of running a football club like Kotoko is so significant that without external assistance or support from fans, it becomes challenging," Duku asserted.
Duku questioned how Asante Kotoko could consistently attract high-caliber players without the financial means to compete in the transfer market. He urged supporters to consider their role in initiatives aimed at generating revenue for the club, particularly the Fabu Census project. "The Fabu Census, the official supporters' database of Asante Kotoko Sporting Club, is available to all supporters worldwide. Fans aged 18 and above can independently register and make monthly contributions to aid the club," he pointed out.
Duku challenged fans to evaluate their commitment to revenue-generating initiatives, such as the Fabu Census, and to reflect on the number of people who have subscribed and regularly attend Kotoko matches. "We introduced the Fabu Census project. How many people have subscribed so far? How many of us attend our matches?" he queried.
"You don't need any special thing to come to a Kotoko match. Let us come in our numbers, so that if for nothing else, they can rely on the gate receipts to help them, and then let’s subscribe to the Fabu Census."
