Head coach Karim Zito is determined to build on the team’s recent league victory over Berekum Chelsea. He explained that the squad has been working to correct the lapses observed in that game, saying, “The preparation is good, and we are fighting to polish our performance from the win against Berekum Chelsea before meeting Kwara United.” This focus on improvement is crucial as Kotoko aims to make a strong impression in the continental competition.
The CAF Confederation Cup brings together top clubs from across Africa, and Kwara United, the Nigerian side, last appeared in the tournament in 2023. They will be eager to make an impact this time around. The return leg of the preliminary round is scheduled for a week after the first match, at the MKO Abiola Sports Arena in Kuto.
Kotoko’s recent league win has boosted morale, and the team hopes to carry that momentum into the CAF Confederation Cup. Playing the first leg on home soil, they will aim for a positive result before traveling to Nigeria for the second leg. A strong performance in this opening tie is essential for advancing to the next round and establishing their presence in the competition. With preparations underway, Asante Kotoko is poised to meet the challenge posed by Kwara United and make a notable impression in the CAF Confederation Cup.
