Communications Director for Asante Kotoko Kennedy Boakye Ansah has revealed preparations are advanced ahead of their CAF Champions League showdown against Nigeria club Kano Pillars.

The Kano-based outfit will host the Porcupine Warriors at the Sani Abacha Stadium on August 10 with the return leg set for Baba Yara Stadium on 25 August.

“Preparations are far advance ahead of our Champions League game against Kano Pillars. Blending of the old and new players has been good so far and I know with time the team will get to where every supporter is expecting”, he told AshhFM

“We have had a lot of information about Kano Pillars and I believe our technical handlers will work on the team to win the game in Nigeria”, he added.

Kotoko’s last appearance in the Champions League was in 2015. The Porcupines were eliminated in the first-round by Algerian side MC El Eulma.

The winner of the two-legged match will progress to the final round to play either Hafia FC of Guinea or Tunisian club, Etoile du Sahel.
