Former Asante Kotoko Chief Executive Sylvester Asare Owusu has been installed Bantamahene, a sub-chief in Kumasi.

His stool name is Baffour Owusu Amankwatia VI.

Asare Owusu has succeeded Baffour Asare Owusu Amankwatia V who died in 2015.

He is remembered for his role in the signing of Charles Taylor from arch-rivals Hearts of Oak and winning the league in 2003- the first in ten years.

In 2009, he was implicated and handed a five-year ban from all football related activities after being implicated by the Justice Belieb Committee for the overcrowding incident at the Baba Yara Stadium where four died and over 400 fans sustaining various degrees of injuries during a league clash against Hearts.
