Asante Kotoko’s talismanic striker, Kwame Opoku, is brimming with belief ahead of their much-anticipated clash against South African heavyweights Kaizer Chiefs in the 2025 Toyota Cup.
Speaking to the club’s media team, Opoku expressed his determination to deliver a victory for the fans, highlighting the pride that comes with wearing the Kotoko jersey.
“Asante Kotoko is one of the biggest clubs in Africa—no doubt about it,” he said. “We go into every game aiming to win, both for ourselves and our amazing supporters. We’re focused on making them proud this Saturday.”
Kotoko touched down in Durban on Wednesday morning after a long journey from Ghana and were given a warm reception by Kaizer Chiefs officials. The team is lodging at the Protea Hotel Fire and Ice and have already hit the ground running with a high-intensity training session at George Campbell School of Technology.
This clash is more than just a friendly—it serves as a crucial warm-up for Kotoko’s return to continental football since 2021. A victory would be a strong statement of intent ahead of the new season.
For Opoku, who recently returned to the club and already has MTN FA Cup and President’s Cup medals under his belt, the Toyota Cup presents another opportunity to etch his name into Kotoko history.
With both sides eager to assert dominance, the 2025 Toyota Cup is shaping up to be a thrilling contest between two of Africa’s most iconic clubs.
