Kwame Opoku’s got that swagger back, and honestly, you can’t blame him. The guy just helped Asante Kotoko snatch the 2024/25 MTN FA Cup—banged in two goals in the final, too, against Golden Kick FC. Not exactly a fairytale opponent, but hey, a win’s a win. That makes it FA Cup number ten for the Porcupine Warriors. Double digits, baby.
So now, CAF Confederation Cup is on the horizon. Big stage, big vibes. Opoku’s buzzing about it, and you can see why. Chatting with the club’s media team, he basically said, “Look, playing in Africa? That’s where you level up. Not just me, the whole squad. And yeah, I’m ready to step up.” I mean, you’d expect nothing less, right?
He’s been around the block, too—stints in Algeria and Morocco, so he knows what’s up. He even mentioned how these continental games don’t just boost your own game, but also hype the fans. Apparently, folks around town have been a bit “meh” about coming to the stadium, but now that Kotoko’s back on the African scene? Suddenly everyone’s dusting off their jerseys and talking big. Classic.
Opoku didn’t even try to hide it: “This is the level I want to play at. It makes you better, raises your value, puts you on the map.” No beating around the bush. And hey, he’s not wrong—good performances in Africa and next thing you know, scouts are lurking, Instagram followers are going up, the whole deal.
Kotoko fans are probably dreaming of a deep run with Opoku leading the charge. Whether it pans out, who knows? But at least the guy’s bringing the right energy. And honestly, after a few dull seasons, that’s half the battle.
