Bofoakwa Tano legend Dan Owusu has celebrated the return of the club to the Ghana Premier League.
The club made a triumphant return to the Ghana Premier League after spending over a decade outside the top flight.
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.
In an interview with Koforidua-based Bryt FM, Dan Owusu, who had a great stint with Bofoakwa Tano expressed his joy following the club’s qualification to the Ghana Premier League.
“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”
“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”
Bofoakwa Tano join Heart of Lions and Nations FC for next season’s Ghana Premier League campaign.
