Asante Kotoko have left Ghana for Nigeria, where they will face Kwara United in the decisive second leg of their CAF Confederation Cup preliminary tie on Sunday, September 28, 2025.
The Porcupine Warriors travel with a slim 4–3 advantage from the first leg in Accra; a match that lit up the Accra Sports Stadium with seven goals.
That victory came through a pulsating performance, which saw Emmanuel Antwi, Albert Amoah, and Joseph Ablorh on target for the Ghanaians.
However, defensive lapses allowed Kwara to score three crucial away goals.
Those strikes mean the Nigerians are firmly in the contest and will look to capitalise on home support in Ilorin.

Kotoko’s departure signals the start of their toughest test yet in this year’s campaign.
Head coach and players alike know the mission: protect their narrow lead, stay disciplined in defense, and seize any chances that come their way.
Traveling to Nigeria is never an easy task, but the Porcupine Warriors carry belief that they can finish the job and advance to the next stage.
All eyes will now be on Ilorin, where Ghana’s most successful club hopes to write another chapter in their continental story.
