Kotoko must win Ghana Premier League to honor Nana Pooley – Prosper Ogum

Asante Kotoko head coach, Prosper Narteh Ogum, has urged his players to honor the memory of Yaw Frimpong, popularly known as Nana Pooley, who was tragically stabbed to death during the club’s league match against Nsoatreman FC on February 2, 2025.

After weeks of suspended football activities, Kotoko resumed training on Wednesday, February 19, 2025, at the Adako Jachie training grounds. Speaking to his squad, Ogum encouraged the players to dedicate their performances to the late Pooley, a devoted supporter of the club.

“It’s unfortunate, but we must honor him by putting our best into every training session and match. We owe it to him, and I believe we are ready to do that,” Ogum stated.

He emphasized that while Pooley’s loss is deeply painful, the best tribute to his legacy would be for Kotoko to push for success in the league.

“It won’t be easy to move on, but the best way we can truly honor him is by working hard, winning games, and ultimately securing the league title in his memory. Let’s stay united, stay focused, and get the results,” he added.

Kotoko is set to decide on Monday, February 24, 2025, whether to resume participation in the Ghana Premier League.
