Exclusive: Asante Kotoko Starting XI to Face Berekum Chelsea in League Opener

Asante Kotoko have named their starting XI to face Berekum Chelsea in their opening Ghana Premier League fixture at the Golden City Park this afternoon. The Porcupine Warriors will be aiming to kickstart their 2025/26 campaign on a high note in what promises to be a tough contest in Berekum.

Head coach Abdul Karim Zito has put together a blend of youth and experience as the Reds look to make a strong statement in their first league outing of the season.

Asante Kotoko Starting XI vs Berekum Chelsea:

1. Mohammed Camara (GK)

2. Musah Hamzata

3. Patrick Asiedu

4. Samba Oniel

5. Joseph Ablor 

6. Kwadwo Seth

7. Hilary Adabo

8. Emmanuel Antwi

9. Philip Amoh

10. Albert Amoah

11. Kwame Poku

With Mohammed Camara trusted in between the sticks, the backline features the quartet of Musah Hamzata, Patrick Asiedu, Samba Oniel, and Henry Ansu – all tasked with keeping things tight against the dangerous Chelsea frontline.

In midfield, Kwadwo Seth and Hilary Adabo are expected to provide stability and control, with Emmanuel Antwi adding dynamism in the middle of the park. Up front, Philip Amoh and Albert Amoah will lead the attack, supported by the lively Morifing Donzo, who will look to trouble Chelsea’s defense with his pace and trickery.

The Porcupine Warriors will count on their traveling supporters for inspiration, as they set sights on securing all three points away from home. Kick-off is at 15:00 GMT at the Golden City Park.
