Sammy Kuffour backs Kotoko to win Ghana Premier League title with $5,000 bet

Samuel Osei Kuffour, the ex-Ghana defender, has placed a $5,000 bet on Asante Kotoko securing the 2026/27 Ghana Premier League title. During a chat with football enthusiasts following a 'Monday Stars' match in Accra, Kuffour confidently declared: "Asante Kotoko will win the league." Initially, a fan offered a GHS 10,000 wager, but Kuffour replied, "Let's make it $5,000.

I guarantee you Kotoko will win the league." Despite Kotoko's opening-day draw against debutants Debibi United, 2-2 at Golden City Park, the former Bayern Munich and AS Roma centre-back remains convinced. The Porcupine Warriors, aiming for their maiden victory of the season, will host Heart of Lions at the Baba Yara Stadium on Sunday, presenting them with a chance to regain momentum and work towards the title Kuffour has backed them to secure.
