The Spokesperson of Berekum Chelsea, Isaac Obeng, has indicated that the team is anticipating a tough opening weekend in the 2025/26 Ghana Premier League season.

The Blues will face off with giants Asante Kotoko in Week 1 of the upcoming Ghanaian top-flight league campaign.

Speaking to Luv FM ahead of the new season, Isaac Obeng said Berekum Chelsea will hope to beat Kotoko to start the campaign on a positive note. "After I saw it [the fixture against Kotoko], I called Coach Samuel Boadu to discuss it, and he feels the same thing as we're all feeling that the game will be a very difficult game.

We're looking at the recruitment, Kumasi Asante and I can say Asante Kotoko is the best team so far in Ghana. "So, the team left Berekum yesterday to Kumasi, and when they were going, we told them that the preparation that we are going to do in Kumasi should be an intensive one, because our first three games is not an easy game. "So, we are hoping to beat Kumasi Asante, Kotoko, which we know is a very difficult game in Berekum," Isaac Obeng said.
