Faisal fired up for Top Four glory

Kumasi, Aug. 28, GNA - Alhaji Karim Grusah, Founder and Bankroller of Kumasi King Faisal FC has declared the Club's determination to win this year's MTN/GHALCA Top Four tournament. In an interview with the GNA Sports in Kumasi, he said his conviction follows the Club's impressive performance against city rivals Kumasi Asante Kotoko in their opening match which ended 2-1 in their favour.

Alhaji Grusah said his Club had prepared adequately well during the off-season and that the strict training regimen that the players went through was paying dividend. Faisal is going to sustain the momentum in subsequent matches in the tournament.

He said the Club would use the Top Four tourney to identify their strength and weaknesses and it will be used as a platform to prepare for this year's CAF Confederation Cup and the national Premier League. Alhaji Grusah singled out for commendation, newly signed on coach Isaac Boateng, describing him as a "genius", who has the potential to improve on the Club's fortunes. He said management has resolved to give the coach the necessary support to enable him steer the Club to achieve their aims and goals.
