Our objective is to reach top 4 - Bechem United CEO

The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Bechem United, Nana Kwasi Darlington, has revealed that the club's objective is to reach the Top 4 or possibly win the upcoming Ghana Premier League.

Mr Darlington said the club will follow up and meet last year’s set targets.

"It has been our target and we are gradually checking our points and whether it is achievable. We will work hard to maintain that standard and also do better," he indicated in an interview with Class Sports in Accra.

"The league is going to be exciting and competitive both on and off the pitch," he added.

He made this known following the announcement of the resumption of contact sports in the country by the President Akufo-Addo in his 17th COVID-19 update address.
