“First of all the goal was not for me alone but for the team and I think it has helped the team to go to the next stage.”
“So like from the beginning, I am coming to help the team with the little experience I have in Africa because I have been to the CAF Champions League final, I have been to the Confederation Cup final so I know how the terrain is.”
“Mine is just to help the team to go forward at least to the group stage, this is what we are working on and I know God willing we will get there”, he concluded
John Antwi boasts extensive familiarity with African football, having participated in numerous instances in both the CAF Champions League and the Confederations Cup. He has represented clubs such as Al Ahly, Al Masry, and Pyramid FC, showcasing his seasoned expertise on the continent’s stage.
