Asante Kotoko and AshantiGold SC will represent Ghana in the CAF Champions League and the Confederations Cup competition next season.
The 2019/20 football season has been annulled by the country’s football governing body following the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic.
The two clubs were chosen as per the relevant provisions of the CAF inter-club football Regulations which stipulate that in the absence of a champion for a member association, the representatives for the previous season shall be made to represent that country.
The two clubs participated in the two competitions last season after their triumph in the Special Competition Tier 1 and Tier 2 saw them book their ticket for the continental showpiece.
