General Manager of Accra Great Olympics, Eric Alagidede, has described the club as the third most successful side in Ghanaian football, placing them just behind Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko.
Despite suffering relegation from the Ghana Premier League at the end of the 2023/24 season, the “Wonder Club” remain hopeful of a swift return to the top flight. They will compete in the Access Bank Division One League this season, aiming to top their zone and secure promotion.
Alagidede, who was recently appointed General Manager, is confident in the club’s direction and progress.
“So far, I'm enjoying my time and it's been good, and I'm very happy about the progress made,” he told Asempa FM. “There is hope because the pre-season looks good, and we will soon bounce back. As the third force in Ghana football, we need to be back in the Ghana Premier League.”
He backed his claim with the club’s honours: “We are the only club after Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko to have won two Premier League titles and two FA Cup trophies. So, if I say we are the third force, I'm only speaking facts and not making a claim.”
Great Olympics will face city rivals Hearts of Oak in the 2025 Democracy Cup on Friday, August 29, at the Accra Sports Stadium. Alagidede believes the match will serve as a platform to make a strong statement.
“We are preparing very well and will make our first statement in the upcoming Democracy Cup,” he added.
