Kumasi Asante Kotoko will play their remaining home games of the 2019/2020 Ghana Premier League season at the Accra Sports Stadium.

The decision by the club's management was announced in a statement on micro-blog Twitter.

"Management has chosen the Accra Sports Stadium as our home ground for the remainder of the 2019/2020 season," the tweet said.

The decision comes four days after their original home ground was closed by the National Sports Authority due to preparations ahead of March’s Independence Day celebrations.
