The Dansoman Fabulous Ladies have been holding meetings and traveling to watch the team’s matches both at home and away for months now. As a female supporters’ group of Kumasi Asante Kotoko their activities must be under the watch and also coordinated by their parent body based in Kumasi.

It brought together many participants such as Ghana Most Beautiful contestants from TV3, Face of Volta beauty pageant contestants, Big Girls Club based at Osu as well as Face of Legon beauty pageant contestants.

Wearing their attractive jeans with white tops which had Fabulous Ladies boldly written in front, Ivy and her members became the centre of attraction when they stormed the multi-purpose sports centre. People were really impressed and commended them for their dedication to Asante Kotoko.

After taking some refreshment, the Fabulous Ladies as well as other participants really enjoyed themselves with activities such as swimming, ampe and playing cards.
