Kwara United coach, Tunde Sanni Salihu, has insisted that they are confident of beating Asante Kotoko if they get fair officiating.
The Nigerian side will be hosted at the Accra Sports Stadium on Sunday, September 21, in the first leg of the 2025/26 CAF Confederation Cup.
Ahead of the game, Salihu highlighted that they are preparing well for the game and remain confident of getting the needed results against the Ghanaian side.
"We are preparing very well and are confident of beating Kotoko, provided there is fair officiating," he told Akoma FM.
"Ghana is not the best football nation in Africa, so the fact that Kotoko have national team players in their squad does not intimidate us. We also have national team players, even some on our bench."
He further said their ambition is to go far in the tournament.
"Our ambition is clear: we want to go far in this competition. This season, we are competing in three different trophies, and our target is to win all of them, including the CAF Confederation Cup," he said.
"Come Sunday, we will match Kotoko boot for boot. I also urge all Nigerians in Ghana to turn out in large numbers to support us; we will not disappoint them," he added.
After the first leg, Kwara United will host Asante Kotoko at the M.K.O. Abiola International Stadium in the second leg on Sunday, September 28.
