Asante Kotoko captain Samba O’Neil says his outfit will use the GHALCA top 4 competition to prepare for the upcoming 2025/26 CAF Confederation Cup campaign.
The Porcupine Warriors will battle it out with sworn-rivals Hearts of Oak, Premier League champions Bibiani Goldstars and Heart of Lions in the top 4 competition, which kick start on August 20 in Accra.
Having discovered their opponent in the Confederation Cup, Zito, who led Dreams FC to the semifinals two seasons ago, says he will use the GHALCA tournament as part of preparations for the Africa.
“The Top 4 is a very big competition and with a big history. We are using the competition to prepare for the Africa campaign” he said.
The Porcupine Warriors returns to Africa for the first time since 2022 following their success in the Ghana FA Cup competition last season.
Kotoko will play host to Kwara United in the first leg between September 19 and 21 before traveling for the return fixture in Nigeria from September 26 to 28.
The Ghanaian giants are aiming to make a meaningful impact as they mark their return to the continental stage.
Kotoko will face Moroccan powerhouse Wydad Casablanca in the second preliminary round if they are able to triumph over Kwara United.
The second preliminary round’s first leg is slated for October 17 and 19, with the decisive return fixture to be played between October 24 and 26.
