Asante Kotoko left Accra on Thursday afternoon to play a combined side of Simba FC and Young Africans in a commemorative match in Tanzania.
The club departed from the Kotoka International Airport in Accra without their top scorer Ahmed Toure who is in Egypt for a medical.

The trip is to honour the 50th Independence anniversary of the Eastern African country.
