Asante Kotoko CEO George Amoako has stated that clubs in the country are not yet ready to battle with their peers in Africa for the CAF inter-club competitions titles.
According to him, the difference in gap between Ghanaian clubs and their peers in Africa is wide and they need to put in the extra effort to close the margin.
In an interview with Asempa FM, the Executive Council member noted that bridging the gap is a possibility.
