Speaking ahead of the game, new Kotoko captain Richard Boadu said that the players are aware of the team's bad performances in the competition in the last decade but are ready to change the narrative.

He also spoke about how he is settling into the team as the new captain.
“The captaincy means a lot to me but it comes with a lot of responsibilities because being a player for Kotoko isn’t an easy task so to say, so I will just have to adjust to the role of a captain and what it demands," he told the press ahead of the Kadiogo game.
Asante Kotoko will host RC kadiogo on Sunday, September 18, 2022, at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi.
