We want to give them a show – Thomas-Asante pledges ahead of Somalia test

Coventry City's forward Brandon Thomas-Asante has expressed his team's eagerness to deliver an impressive performance for fans in Ghana's Western Region prior to Thursday's Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON 2027) qualifier against Somalia. Ghana, currently at the bottom of Group C with no points, must secure victories against Somalia in both matches.

Speaking ahead of the game, Thomas-Asante said, "We want to make sure that we give them a show that everyone wants to see." On a personal level, he would prefer to demonstrate his abilities rather than simply talk about them. He has expressed his hope that fans have witnessed his energy, passion, and goal-scoring ability during his career, adding that he also aims to entertain the crowd.

This will be the first time Ghana plays at the Sekondi Sports Stadium since the venue hosted Lesotho in 2009. Thomas-Asante, who was training at the stadium for the first time on Wednesday, was particularly impressed by the fans who attended the team's training. He stated, "It’s a real blessing because even when we got off the bus for training, you could feel the atmosphere.

There’s an energy. It’s a change. It’s positive. We also recognise that there’s support all across the country. To be able to have these two games here is a blessing." Ghana is scheduled to face Somalia at the Sekondi Sports Stadium on Thursday at 3 PM, followed by a reverse fixture on Monday at the same venue.
