Board Chairman and Investment banker Togbe Afede, who doubles as the Chief Executive of Strategic African Securities (SAS) is the single majority shareholder in the club with nearly 40%.

Other members including Managing Director of Stanbic Bank, Alhasan Adani, CEO Fred Crenstil and mining magnate David Lamptey among other high profile persons will be present at the National Theatre.

The 19-time winners of the Ghana Premier League raked in over 2.5 million Ghana Cedis.
