As per the Worldwide League of Football History and Insights, a global association perceived by FIFA, Asante Kotoko was Africa's best club of the twentieth century.

In the same way as other clubs from a country's 'second city', Asante Kotoko have an exceptional bond with their neighborhood allies, joined against an everlasting opponent from the capital.

On account of the Porcupine Champions, they hail from Kumasi, which is the home of the old Ashanti or Asante people groups, and their principle rivals are Accra's respected Hearts of Oak.

While the bigger city on the coast is viewed as the cutting edge focus of Ghana, it is a state of incredible pride for inhabitants of the northern city that their agent football club has outperformed their contrary number in titles both homegrown and mainland.
