Kumasi, Oct 15, Ghanadot/GNA - The management of King Faisal
Football Club of Kumasi has so far spent about 60,000 Ghana
cedis to recruit 16 new players to beef up the team.
Among the latest catch by the club include Abedi Sarfo,
formerly of Kumasi Asante Kotoko Fooball Club.
The Vice President of the Club, Alhaji Kamel Mohammed told
the GNA Sports in Kumasi at the weekend that the new players
are tipped to lead Faisal's campaign for its maiden
premiership title when the league starts.
Alhaji Mohammed said the other 15 players whose names he did
not disclose, are among some of the finest and experienced
players on the local scene capable of upstaging the likes of
Kotoko and Hearts of Oak for the league title.
The Vice-President also that management had also contracted
a Finn-born British, Stephen George Polack as head coach of
the Club as part of efforts to strengthen the technical
team.
He said he was optimistic that the coach would bring his
experience to bear on the rejuvenated Faisal team and called
on supporters to rally solidly behind him.
Alhaji Mohammed urged the Ghana Football Association (GFA)
to step up efforts to ensure that the next edition of the
Premier League starts on time in order that players of the
various Clubs do not become match rusty.
He pointed out that management of the Club was currently
liaising with some corporate bodies for sponsorship packages
to boost the Club's financial base.
"We are also collaborating with the National Supporters
Union of the Club to explore other avenues of generating
funds for the Club's development", he told the GNA Sports.
