Ade's Olympiakos to win premier league in four years

AC Olympiakos, a newly formed division one team, owned by Mr Joseph Ade Coker, former president of Accra Great Olympics, has set for itself a target of four years to capture the Star Premier League title to enable it compete with the best on the continent.

At the inauguration of the club in Accra, Mr Coker said even though the club would be participating in the first division league for now, results from friendly matches played gives him the hope that the team's qualification to the premier league would be a matter of time.

"This is no bragging matter, it is our vision and we know looking at the determination of our players backed by sound support of our management we shell make it" he said

Olympiakos was formed on Sunday, April 14, 2001, following successful negotiations between Kingdoko Company Limited, owner of Okwawu Youngsters Football Club and Acorn Group of Companies before being re-christened Olympiakos.

"In short, Acorn bought Okwawu Youngsters founded by Yaw Bremang Boamah and

Alex Adjekum Boamah from Kingdoko who also bought the club in August 2000 and have since transferred the entire ownership and interest to its new owners.

"Olympiakos is coming a few months after the unfortunate circumstances that forced me to severe my relationship with the wonder club, Accra Great Olympics and this has tempted people to suggest the club formation is to rival Olympics which is not."

Mr Coker said the selection of the name and its motto "You never walk alone" was done with the view of building bridges on fruitful corporation with it more illustrious namesake in Greece, which would be realised in the near future.

He later introduced a six-member management team, which includes himself as the President with the rest being Mr Herbert Lawson, Mr Sinar Amartey, Mr J.A Allotey, Ricky Nikoi and Ahene Truly.

In a goodwill message read on his behalf, Nii Kojo Ababio, James Town Mantse, who also accepted the position of a life patron of the club urged supporters and players of the club to do their best to ensure that the noble objectives set by the management come into realisation.

Closing the ceremony, the chairman of the occasion, Alhaji Nurudeen Jawula, former chairman of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) asked all to be mindful of potential pitfalls in their way to achieving objectives set for themselves to avoid the problems that they faced during their Olympics era.
