The inhabitants are proud of their football club sportenthusiastischen Kumasi Asante Kotoko . Kotoko does porcupine and is the emblem of the club, but it is actually a metaphor for the resilience, the Asante (Ashanti) people had been repeatedly proven in history. The team has been able to win several national and continental titles.
 
 
The city was in the late 17th Century by King Osei Tutu, the capital of the Ashanti Kingdom . Here he received, according to legend the golden stool , the symbol of unity and spirit of the Ashanti from the sky. Later, in principle, the ruler of Kumasi (the “Kumasihene”), the ruler of the Aschantireiches. The Aschantikönige (” Asantehene “) were the richest kings of West Africa, so that is a major attraction in the palace Manhyia today. in 1874 , the British destroyed in the wake of their fourth War against the Ashanti parts of the city, including the former Royal Palace.
