Angolan side for Confed Cup
Sagrada Esperança are to take up the last of Angola’s places in next season’s African Confederation Cup after InterClube decided they would not participate, the Angolan Football Federation said on Tuesday.
There was to be a draw between the two clubs to determine who would participate but this is no longer necessary, the federation added.
Angola’s season was brought to a premature close in March because of the coronavirus crisis with both clubs chasing places in the Taca Angola (Angolan Cup) final.
Sagrada Esperança defeated InterClube 3-1 in the first leg of the semifinal in Lunda Norte, but the second leg never took place because of the lockdown.
The season in Angola was cancelled last month and Petro Atletico declared champions, even though there were still six rounds left to play.
Petro will participate in next season’s Champions League along with runners-up Primeiro Agosto while third placed Bravos do Maquis go to the Confederation Cup winner. The other placed was reserved for the Angolan Cup winner. The other semifinal was between Primeiro Agosto and Bravos do Maquis – both already qualified for continental club competition.
Sagrada, who were Angolan champions in 2005 and won the cup in 1988 and 1999, have already participated in the Confederation Cup on three occasions – in 1992, 1998 and 2016 when they reached the quarterfinals. – Mzansi Football

Asempa FM apologizes to Sports Minister Kofi Adams

Management of Asempa FM has issued a public apology to the Minister of Youth and Sports, Mr. Kofi Adams, after wrongly quoting him in a recent publication about the selection of players for the Black Stars.
In a statement released by the station’s management, Asempa FM admitted that a quote card shared after Kofi Adams’ interview on Ultimate Sports Show on 13th October 2025 misrepresented his actual remarks.
According to the station, the error created a wrong impression that the Sports Minister was directly involved in selecting players for the national team ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
“The wording on the artwork may have created a misleading impression. For clarity, the Honorable Minister stated that the final decision on player selection rests solely with the technical team, and he emphasized the importance of transparency and merit-based selection,” the statement said.
Asempa FM expressed deep regret for the misrepresentation and apologized to Kofi Adams and the Ministry of Youth and Sports.
The management further assured the public that the station would take steps to ensure greater accuracy and care in its future communications.
“We hold Kofi Adams and his office in the highest regard and deeply regret any inconvenience or misunderstanding caused,” the statement concluded.

From Fourth to First – Ghana’s Dramatic Turnaround Under Otto Addo

When Otto Addo took charge, Ghana sat fourth in Group I with just three points from two matches — a situation that seemed daunting for even the most optimistic fans. But what followed was one of the most remarkable turnarounds in African World Cup qualifying history.
Addo’s arrival brought renewed tactical clarity and belief. He restructured the team’s shape, redefined roles, and instilled discipline in both defense and attack. The results began to flow as Ghana went on an astonishing run of victories.
The coach’s calm leadership was crucial in restoring confidence to key players who had lost form. Veterans found new motivation, while youngsters flourished under his guidance, creating a perfect blend of maturity and energy.
Each win became a statement of intent — that Ghana was back. The team’s comeback victories over tough opponents like Mali and Central African Republic showed resilience and mental fortitude.
By the end of the campaign, the Black Stars had climbed from fourth to first, topping the group with 25 points and a +17-goal difference — a clear testament to Otto Addo’s transformational leadership.
This turnaround will go down in Ghana’s football annals as a story of hope, determination, and tactical brilliance that brought the nation back to the world stage.
