FIFA President Gianni Infantino has sent a congratulatory letter to the Porcupine Warriors for their 2021/22 Ghana Premier League feat.

The letter was received by the  Ghana Football Association(GFA), President Kurt Edwin Simeon-Okraku.

The Porcupine Warriors captured the title from their arch rivals Hearts of Oak a fortnight ago with an 11 points gap lead.

Kotoko have now claimed a record-extending 25th Ghana Premier League title.

The Fabulous Club were crowned champions on June 12, 2022 at their Baba Yara Stadium home ground in Kumasi after an impressive 3-0 win over relegated Elmina Sharks.

 

In his letter, the FIFA President hailed Asante Kotoko’s handwork, passion and commitment towards the teams’ triumph.

“It is with great pleasure that I congratulate Asante Kotoko SC for having been crowned 2021/22 champions of Ghana”

”This title could not have been achieved without the entire team’s hard work, passion and dedication, and everyone at the club can be very proud. Please extend my congratulations to everybody involved in this great achievement”

”On behalf of the entire football community, I also take this opportunity to thank you and your Association for your contribution to the development and prosperity of football in Ghana and in Africa” the statement stated.

Kotoko will be Ghana’s representative in the 2022-23 TotalEnergies CAF Champions League campaign.
