Asante Kotoko and Ashanti Gold's Africa chances downplayed

Veteran Ghanaian coach JE Sarpong believes Asante Kotoko and Ashanti Gold are only going to make up numbers in continental inter-club competitions next season.

The two sides have been confirmed for the 2020-21 African campaign, receiving the nod from the Ghana Football Association (GFA) Executive Council following premature termination of the 2019-20 domestic league due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Kotoko are due to compete in the Caf Champions League, a ticket ordinarily reserved for winners of the Ghana Premier League (GPL) while AshGold play in the Caf Confederation Cup, a privilege that ought to have gone to the Ghana FA Cup winners under normal circumstances.
