The head coach of Asante Kotoko, Abdul Karim Zito, has admonished his players to work hard in pre-season ahead of the 2025/26 Ghana Premier League season.

The experienced tactician believes that this is important because of the tough teams his side will face in the first five matches of the new campaign.

The Ghanaian giants will begin their league campaign away to Berekum Chelsea before taking on defending champions Bibiani Gold Stars at home.
