Kassim Mingle Ocansey, coach of Nations FC, exudes confidence in his team’s capability to seize the championship should the opportunity arise.
Currently trailing league leaders FC Samartex by just five points, the Abrankese-based side sits in second place on the Ghana Premier League table with 44 points, harboring aspirations of clinching a historic league title in their inaugural season.
With an impressive debut campaign underway, Mingle, alongside assistant Johnson Smith, has been instrumental in Nations FC’s success through strategic tactical approaches. Despite narrowly missing victory in their recent encounter against Bofoakwa Tano, the team remains steadfast in narrowing the gap at the summit.
Coach Mingle underscored the team’s determination, affirming, “Everyone playing in the league has the ambition of winning it, so if the opportunity comes, we will win the league,” in an interview with Connect FM.
He elaborated, “It is hard training, dedication, discipline, and motivation from the management, coupled with the coaches’ synergy and experience. Myself and my brother Johnson Smith, we are brothers already; we have worked at other clubs before, so we understand each other.”
The club’s resolve is fueled by rigorous training, unwavering commitment, and management’s support, complemented by the coaches’ cohesion and expertise.
Notably, striker Asamoah Boateng Afriyie has been a standout performer for Nations FC, netting 10 goals in the league. Just two goals shy of the league’s top scorer, Stephen Amankona, Afriyie’s contributions have been pivotal to the team’s success.
As Nations FC continues to make waves in their maiden season, fans eagerly anticipate the prospect of witnessing their extraordinary journey culminate in hoisting the prestigious Ghana Premier League trophy.
