Caf Champions League: Kotoko CEO Confident Of Victory Against Nouadhibou FC

The Chief Executive Officer [CEO] of Asante Kotoko, Nana Yaw Amponsah is confident of victory ahead of their Caf Champions League preliminary game against Nouadhibou FC.

The Ghana Premier League side arrived in Mauritania on Wednesday afternoon as they gear up for the clash on Sunday.

Kotoko have started their season on a poor note after failing to record a win after two games in the ongoing 2020/21 Ghana Premier League.

But according to Mr Amponsah, he admits that poor start of the season but he remains hopeful of good results against Nouadhibou.

"We have not started our 2020/21 Ghana Premier League on a good note and I expected that because most of the teams did not get enough time for pre-season due to Covid-19," he told Asempa FM.

"Most of the matches that will be played will be part of the pre-season but we as a club are ready because this is Kotoko and no other club.

"The players are ready and the coach is making we get our first win here before the return game in Ghana.

"In our game against Berekum Chelsea, the home fans were happy and this shows that we as a club are doing something right.

"I can promise that we will do our best to get the best results for Ghana and the club," he added.

The 2019 Ghana Football Association [GFA] presidential candidate also called on government for support.

"This is Kotoko and this is where we belong. We and Ashgold are representing the country in Africa this season and government must come to our aid.

"The Black Stars went to 2019 Afcon with $6m budget and we just need 10 per cent of that money to succeed," he concluded.

A total number of 21 players were named for the game by Maxwell Konadu. Brazilian midfielder, Fabio Gama who arrived at the club this summer has been axed from the club.
