Board member of Asante Kotoko, Evelyn Nsiah Asare has called on the fans of the club to fill the Baba Yara Stadium on Sunday in the CAF Champions League preliminary round second leg tie.
The Ghana Premier League champions defeated Burkinabe side, RC Kadiogo in the first leg in Benin on Monday with Isaac Oppong scoring the only goal of the game.
However, the Porcupine Warriors, led by Seydou Zerbo as the head coach will welcome Kadiogo to the Baba Yara Stadium on Sunday.
Ahead of the game, Mrs. Nsiah Asare has appealed to the fans to fill the stadium as they seek to qualify for the next round of the qualification.
“What I am scared of is the fact that the second leg is taking place at our home ground because if you’re not lucky and they [Kadiogo] score one, you could be in trouble,” she told Kumasi-based Nhyira FM.
“So we should be able to fill the park, so then we the supporters will be regarded as the twelfth player on the day to support the players. We congratulate the players, management, and the technical team. They have all done extremely well,” she added.
Asante Kotoko has not qualified for the group stage of the top tier of CAF inter-club competition since 2006.
