Sports Minister Kofi Adams fired up Asante Kotoko players after their stunning comeback win against Hearts of Oak. The Porcupine Warriors fought back from behind to beat their biggest rivals 2-1 at the Accra Sports Stadium on Sunday. Adams rushed into the dressing room after the match to praise the team for their never-give-up attitude. He told the players they looked rock solid against Hearts and could beat any African team with that same fighting spirit. The Buem MP pumped up the squad by telling them not to be scared when they face continental opponents.
Kotoko earned their spot in the 2025/26 CAF Confederation Cup by beating Golden Kick FC 2-1 in the MTN FA Cup final two weeks back. The club will be making their seventh appearance in the competition after years of trying to get back to the top. Their best performance came in 2004 when they reached the final but lost to Hearts of Oak in an all-Ghanaian showdown. Adams believes the team can go much further with their current mindset and determination. The minister wants the players to take their President's Cup energy straight into the African campaign.
Kotoko will warm up for their continental adventure with some big-name friendlies coming up. They face South African giants Kaizer Chiefs in the 2025 Toyota Cup before playing in the GHALCA Top 4 tournament. The club hopes these high-profile matches will get them match-ready for the serious business ahead. Adams thinks the team has what it takes to make Ghana proud on the African stage. The minister wants supporters to get behind the Porcupine Warriors as they chase continental glory.
