Hearts of Oak, Asante Kotoko to represent Ghana in Africa

-

The two most glamorous clubs, Asante Kotoko and Accra Hearts of Oak will represent Ghana in the two 2022/23 CAF inter-club competitions.

The 2021/22 Ghana Premier League champions, Asante Kotoko, will play in the CAF Champions League next season.

Hearts of Oak’s victory over Bechem United in Sunday’s FA Cup final all but guarantees them a place in the CAF Confederation Cup.

The Phobians were Ghana’s sole representatives in Africa last season after winning the double but dropped down to the Confederation Cup after they were knocked out by eventual CAF Champions League winners Wydad Casablanca.
