Kwame Opoku, Asante Kotoko’s star forward, expressed his joy and gratitude after winning the 2024/25 FA Cup.
Opoku rejoined Kotoko in December and has since impresses with important goals.
“First of all, I will give thanks to God for helping us win that trophy because it means a lot to us,” he said.
The 26-year-old scored a crucial brace in the final, leading the Porcupine Warriors to a 2-1 victory over Golden Kick and securing a spot in the CAF Confederation Cup.
Winning the FA Cup is a dream come true for Opoku, who rejoined Kotoko in January after playing abroad. “Me being Kwame as a player, winning the FA Cup with Kotoko is more or less a dream to me because playing Kotoko entails a lot and you can’t play for Kotoko two or three seasons without winning anything for the club,” he added.
Opoku dedicated the win to the late Francis Frimpong, also known as Nana Pooley, who tragically passed away during a match.
“This my time, I wanted to do something for my club Asante Kotoko so winning this trophy means a lot to us, not only to me but to my other colleagues, our fans and our late brother Pooley,” he said, highlighting the significance of the victory for the team and its supporters.
With this win, Opoku and Asante Kotoko look forward to a successful continental campaign.
