Ghanaian giants Asante Kotoko SC have completed their final training session at the Mohammed V Sports Complex in Casablanca, Morocco, ahead of their much-anticipated CAF Confederation Cup second-leg encounter against Wydad Athletic Club.
The Porcupine Warriors arrived in Casablanca earlier this week, determined to overturn the first-leg deficit and secure a place in the next round of the continental competition. Their last training session, held on Friday evening, provided a glimpse into the team’s tactical readiness and mental focus as they gear up for what promises to be a thrilling contest.
Under the watchful eyes of head coach Prosper Narteh Ogum and his technical team, Kotoko’s training session emphasized ball possession, quick transitions, and set-piece routines — all aimed at neutralizing the strength of their Moroccan opponents. The players appeared motivated and sharp, maintaining high energy throughout the session.
The club provided fans with exclusive access by live-streaming the entire session on its official YouTube channel, allowing supporters worldwide to witness the team’s final preparations. Additional behind-the-scenes photos and clips were also shared on the club’s official Facebook page, showcasing a confident squad determined to make a statement in North Africa.
Team captain Danlad Ibrahim and several key players, including Isaac Oppong, Steven Mukwala, and Richmond Lamptey, were all involved in the session, signaling a strong and fit squad ready for battle. The technical team also used the final practice to fine-tune defensive organization and offensive coordination, aware of Wydad’s attacking prowess and home advantage.
Asante Kotoko will be looking to draw inspiration from their rich continental history and passionate fanbase as they step into the intimidating atmosphere of the Mohammed V Stadium. Despite facing a tough opponent, the Ghanaian champions remain confident of pulling off a positive result to keep their continental dreams alive.
The fixture has generated huge excitement among fans back home in Ghana, with many expressing optimism that Kotoko can deliver a memorable performance. Victory in Casablanca would not only boost the club’s standing in African football but also reaffirm its resurgence under Coach Ogum’s leadership.
Kick-off is scheduled for Saturday evening, with the Porcupine Warriors eager to script another proud chapter in their illustrious continental journey.
