Kumasi Asante Kotoko have finally agreed to play bitterest rival Accra Hearts of Oak in the semi-finals of the NC Special Competition tier one.
The Porcupines agreed to lock horns with the Continental Club Master after being granted 40% gate proceeds of the clash with Accra Sports Stadium affirmed as the venue for the cracker.
Kotoko initially withdrew from the competition after the Normalization Committee denied them a request for 10% top up of the gate proceeds and choosing a neutral ground for the clash.
The Reds have rescinded their decision after Kudjoe Fianoo who is a member of the Organizing Committee of the NC Special Competition held a meeting with the management of the team.
Mr. Fianoo confirmed that, during the meeting, the Normalization Committee has agreed to pluck 10% of their share of the gate proceeds to that of Asante Kotoko 30% and the management have accepted the new offer.
“In the absence of my chairman and his vice (Samuel Osei Kuffour and Patrick Ofori), I had to take the matter up so spoke to Dr Kwame Kyei and George Amoako whiles the deputy minister was on stand by. We have agreed the match is coming off on 16th June at Accra Sports Stadium with the gate proceeds being 40% each for Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko and the 20% for the NC”, Kudjoe Fianoo told Oyerepa FM.
Meanwhile, the winner of the cracker face off either Obuasi Ashantigold Sporting Club or Karela United in the finals.
