Nations FC's CEO, Kennedy Ansah-Boakye, attributed their 1-0 loss to FC Diarra in the CAF Confederation Cup preliminaries to a sluggish opening and challenging field conditions. Speaking to Asempa FM’s Ultimate Sports Show, Ansah-Boakye said the team had to start cautiously but needed to improve their initial performance. He also pointed out the pitch's watering schedule, which he believed could have impacted the game, especially with the hot climate in Bamako.
While acknowledging the influence of groundsmen, Ansah-Boakye still believed Nations FC created several chances, including two scoring opportunities, which were not taken. He is confident that coach Zdravko Logarušić will address these issues and capitalize on Diarra's weaknesses in the upcoming return fixture at Accra Sports Stadium on September 13, 2026, at 15:00 GMT.
