Hearts of Oak commission Commercial Centre

Owner of Accra Hearts of Oak, Togbe Afede XIV, has described the club's decision to commission a Commercial Centre as a step to modernisation towards becoming one of the best clubs on the African continent.

The club's highest shareholder explained at the commissioning of the edifice that Hearts were ready to explore partnerships with other clubs in order to learn about modern  football trends.

Speaking at the club's Commercial Centre commissioning on Wednesday, Togbe Afede XIV said "It is very important to take certain decisions to modernise the club if we want to compete as one of the best clubs on the African continent.

"We celebrated 110 years of our existence last year and this year we have another big one coming up in November so it is very important to put in place measures to put the club back to where it belong."

As part of the event, the Hearts owner was joined by former Board Member of the club Gbese Mantse, Nii Ayi-Bonte, to cut sod for the construction of an ultra modern office complex.

The new complex is expected to be ready in the coming months.
