Nations FC coach Kassim Mingle Ocansey remains steadfast in his belief that his team still has a shot at clinching the 2023/24 Ghana Premier League title, despite facing an uphill battle. The current league leaders, Samartex, hold a 5-point lead over Nations FC with only eight matches left in the season.
In their recent outings, Nations FC stumbled, experiencing a setback with a 1-0 loss to Real Tamale United followed by a frustrating 2-2 draw against Bofoakwa Tano. These results allowed Samartex to widen the gap at the top of the table.
However, Ocansey refuses to concede defeat, emphasizing that there are still 24 points up for grabs in the remaining matches. He asserts, “Twenty-four points left and you think they have won the league? No, there are eight matches left with 24 points to be picked so you make sure you win most of the matches. It is not yet over until it is over. We will fight to the end.”
As the season reaches its climax, the upcoming weekend presents a crucial opportunity for Nations FC to assert their title aspirations. They will face a challenging away fixture in Kpando, where they aim to secure maximum points. Meanwhile, Samartex, the league leaders, confront a formidable opponent in Asante Kotoko on the road in Kumasi.
The Premier League title race is intensifying as the competition approaches its decisive phase. Nations FC, under the leadership of Kassim Mingle Ocansey, are resolute in their determination to contend for the championship until the final whistle blows.
