The Kotoko family worldwide would have a great cause to celebrate and be joyous today when the owner and spiritual leader of the Great Asante Kotoko SC, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II performs the ceremonial ground breaking for the commencement of the Phase Two of the Adarko Jarchie Training Complex.

The training ground, which has been in use since the start of the 2010/11 season, does not have much to boast off aside having two good training fields that would be the envy all other Ghanaian Premier League Centres apart from those of Baba Yara and Ohene Djan Stadia, Essipong and Tamale Stadia, and the Len Clay Stadium.

Per the drawing and architectural schematics as seen by Kotoko Express, the Training Complex Project has been planned to be in three phases.

The first Phase was the construction and fencing of the two fields and the demarcation of the remaining land space.

With that one finished and used effectively, the second phase would see a storied structure being erected to cater for other pressing needs such as changing and shower rooms, conference rooms, dining room with an attached kitchen, office spaces for the technical staff and other important facilities as would be so determined and designated for use.

In addition, the structure would also have on the other side terraces where fans and visitors to the training camp can sit to watch their darling club do their business.

The project is being financed by a certain component of the MTN Sponsorship money and is expected to be completed in a record time as the funds as hinted Kotoko Express, are available and has been yearning for usage since day one of the signing of the Kotoko-MTN pact.

The showpiece of the afternoon would be the presence of His Majesty the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II who be making his first Official visit to the grounds since the completion of the first phase.

Kotoko fans are expected to be throng to Adarko Jarchie site in their numbers to witness the making of history in Ghanaian football administration and corporate sponsorship.
