Chairman for Eastern Regional Football and Club President for Oda Kotoku Royals, Linford Asamoah, has insisted that he is confident his side-will team can secure qualification to the Ghana Premier League next season.

The Division One League side will travel away to play Tema Youth at the Tema Sports Stadium in the final game of the season.

However, they face stern competition from Liberty Professionals who are in contention for promotion in the same zone with a point separating the two sides.

The Scientific Soccer Lads must also win in their final game of the season against Susubiribi to also qualify.

However, Asamoah says his side is motivated to make history against Tema Youth.

“If you followed the season well, at the end of the first round we were on top of the table. Our big motivation is to have a team from the Eastern Region participating in the Premier League,” he told Accra-based Happy FM.

“The last team was Power FC. There are surrounding towns like Nsawam, Nkawkaw, Dawu, and Asuom that had Premier League teams. This time around Oda also wants to write its name in Ghana football.

“We have young players who also want to make an impact and that’s motivation enough. We started to quadruple bonuses after we came on top of the league after winning the protest against Kpando Hearts of Oak. We want to honor the people of Oda with qualifications to the Premier League.

“We will plead with everyone to comport themselves so we all will witness the beautiful game on Sunday. The best team will qualify and that is Kotoku Royals,” he added.

Kotoku Royals are targeting promotion to the top-flight for the first time in the club’s history.
