Ghanaian goalkeeper Fatau Dauda has backed AshantiGold ahead of their clash with Akonangui FC in the preliminary stage of the CAF Confederations Cup.

The miners will travel to Equatorial Guinea for the first leg of the game to be played at Ebebiyin on August 10.

The Ghana Premier League side will host the reverse fixture two weeks later in Obuasi.

Ashgold grabbed the sole ticket to represent Ghana at this year’s Confederations Cup after winning the GFA Normalization Committee Tier II Special Cup.

“I’m hoping Ashgold SC can go far in the CAF Confederation Cup to make Ghana proud”, he wished the team well ahead of their campaign in Africa.

Fatau Dauda was part of the 2014-15 squad that won the Ghana Premier League title with AshantiGold.
