Prior to this year’s edition, the team had been absent in the competition which is in its fifth year; UPAC started in 2011.
Kintampo stepped in as a replacement for Valley View University’s satellite campus in Ghana’s Brong-Ahafo Region.
Basketballghana.com gathers Valley View couldn’t make it to the Sunyani Technical University on Friday March 16 to compete in the zonal Championship hence the reason to find a replacement.
Kintampo will have the chance to fight for a place in the quarterfinals this weekend in Zone 4 alongside defending champion University of Energy and Natural Resources (UENR), Catholic University College, Ghana and the host institution.
UENR has won the past two zonal titles and is up for a third on Friday; UENR placed fourth at the national Championship last year.
Only the zone’s winner qualifies to the next stage; All Nations University College, University of Education-Winneba and Takoradi Technical University have sealed spots in the quarters.
