Kumasi Asante Kotoko SC will pitch camp in Cape Coast for their second phase of pre-season preparations ahead of the 2025/26 soccer season.

Their second phase of pre-season training is expected to commence in full earnest on Tuesday.

A contingent of 26 players, along with technical and management team members, will leave Kumasi on Monday for Cape Coast.

Head coach Abdul Karim Zito Kabutey, appreciating the enormity of the task ahead of him and his charges in the next season, will leave no stone unturned in preparing his team for the new season.

The Porcupine Warriors will participate in the CAF Confederation Cup and domestic competitions, and assure their teeming supporters of good performance.

The Ghana Football Association (GFA) last week released fixtures for the domestic league, with the Confederation of African Football (CAF) finalizing the draws for the Champions League and Confederation Cup in Tanzania today.

Kotoko’s squad for the Cape Coast pre-season are:

GOALKEEPERS

Camara Mohammed, Dari A. Aziz, Benjamin Twum,

DEFENDERS

Lord Amoah, Shayibu Abubakari, Patrick Asiedu, Francis Acquah, Joseph Ablorh, Henry Ansu, Michael Sefah, Zackaria Fuseini, Samba Gilbani O’niel
