It has been challenging despite Ghana Premier League qualification - Bofoakwa Tano CEO

Published on: 01 June 2023

Despite securing qualification to the Ghana Premier League, the Chief Executive Officer for Bofoakwa Tano, Alexander Ababio has described the season as challenging.

The Sunyani-based side have made a return to the top flight after 16 years.

Bofoakwa defeated Techiman Eleven Wonders 7-6 on penalties at the Accra Sports Stadium to book the final ticket to the top flight next season in the Zone I final playoff.

Alexander Ababio in an interview expressed his excitement at guiding the team back to the top division.

“It was an exciting day for us after securing qualification to Ghana’s top-flight league," he told Citi Sports.

“We have been relegated for the past 16 years, it has not been an easy feeling, a very difficult one, especially splitting the zones into two [ZONE ONE A & ZONE ONE B].

“Playing against one team four times in the zone, economically, it was not attractive.

“We had a lot of teams who play in Zone B with Premier League experience, so it was a very difficult zone, but we managed our way through.

“Our players showed a lot of discipline throughout the season, which proved key in qualifying to the Premier League," he added.
