Bofoakwa Tano legend Dan Owusu has urged his former club to be ready for the task ahead after regaining Ghana Premier League status.
The club made a triumphant return to the Ghana Premier League after 16-years in the lower division.
Whiles celebrating the clubs return to the top-flight, the legendary forward entreated them to do things right and maintain their status in the GPL.
“I will commend the management, playing body and the technical team for the marvelous job done. And to everyone who prayed for us, I say thank you. I’m extremely happy to see Bofoakwa return to the Ghana Premier League after 16 years” he told Bryt FM in Koforidua.
“Yes, Bofoakwa has qualified from the division one, but the hardest thing ahead is the Premier division, it is not an easy task. We’ve seen a lot of clubs that have failed to maintain their status in the league after just a season”
“Truth be told, the Brong Ahafo teams have dominated the Ghana Premier League, you can make a case for Aduana Stars, Berekum Chelsea, Bechem United and others who have maintained their status in the league. so I will plead with management to do things right to prevent ourselves from being relegated”
In a tense playoff match held on Tuesday at the Accra Sports Stadium, Bofoakwa defeated Techiman Eleven Wonders to secure their promotion.
The match ended 1-1 after regulation time, leading to a nail-biting penalty shootout. Bofoakwa emerged victorious, winning 7-6 in the shootout, and thus clinched their spot in the prestigious Ghana Premier League.
