“Memphis Depay Plans Friendly Match Between Asante Kotoko and Corinthians”
Dutch international and Corinthians forward Memphis Depay is working on an exciting initiative to organize a friendly match between his Brazilian club and Ghanaian giants, Asante Kotoko.
Currently in Ghana for the Christmas holidays, Depay has planned several activities, including charity events. On Thursday morning, the former Manchester United and Barcelona star visited Asante Kotoko’s training grounds at Adako Jachie, where he interacted with the players and encouraged them as they prepared for their clash against Bibiani Goldstars.
In a video shared by Asante Kotoko’s social media accounts, Depay expressed his admiration for the team’s efforts and shared his vision for a friendly match between the two clubs. “I like what I see, and I urge you to keep going. Never give up. I respect all of you guys,” Depay said. “I’m trying to arrange something for the team to maybe play a friendly game against my team, Corinthians, in Brazil. It’s in the plans, so let’s hope we can make it happen so that you guys can showcase your talent.”
Asante Kotoko, currently 5th in the Ghana Premier League standings with 24 points, will host Bibiani Goldstars, who are 2nd with 27 points, at the Baba Yara Stadium on Friday in a highly anticipated Matchday 15 fixture.
Fans of Kotoko and Ghanaian football will be eager to see if Depay’s plans materialize, as the proposed match could offer a global platform for the Porcupine Warriors to display their talent.
