Ghanaian sports journalist highlights the 2023/2024 season of FC Samartex
In an exclusive interview with YEN.com.gh, Media General sports journalist Bill Eshun discussed FC Samartex's performance in the 2023/2024 season and how they secured the Ghana Premier League title.
He noted that he was not surprised that the club won the Ghana Premier League title, adding that it was one of the few teams that survived relegation in the previous season and they came back stronger in the 2023/2024 season.
"They are a club that is well run. This is a club where they use timber to construct their stadium. They have a very good owner who makes sure he pays the players well and they have some quality players in the team."
Mr Eshun noted that FC Samartex has fantastic players who have been instrumental in the success of the club. He mentioned that attacker and left-winger Evans Osei Wusu contributed positively to the team, and Emmanuel Kwame Keyekeh was a star player in the midfield.
"In all, the stars really aligned for Samartex, and with Kotoko and Hearts of Oak not performing so well, it was the opportunity for other clubs to really step up and Samartex stepped up quicker that everybody else."
Mr Eshun further stated that it was an achievement the club deserved, and he applauded the team for doing a solid job.
