I have spoke to the players and told them very soon we will have a lot of people coming in to see them and I want them to be very attentive and work hard both on and off the pitch” He said.
The team organised a friendly football match on Wednesday, 2nd April 2025, for his team, which is being coached and supervised by experienced Paa Kwesi Fabin, a formal Asante Kotoko and Aduana Stars coach.

Twenty-two (22) players that were selected by coach Paa Kwesi Fabin and are being camped for some period of time in Abirem has bring blessed with some jerseys and training kits from Racing Genk, boots and bags all branded from Belgian giants Racing Genk who are at the moment ready to form partnership with newly Kumasi based to Academy.

I will work on them to see if I can get them to the off this summer. I have also told them to be focused and work hard. They focus so much on me being here rather than enjoying the game and playing selfless as a team” Mr Karol said.
