Chief Executive Officer of Aduana Stars Albert Yahaya Commey has insisted that his outfit's CAF Confederation Cup campaign could benefit the nation at the long run.
The Fire Boys are the only surviving Ghanaian club in this year's CAF club competition following the elimination of Asante Kotoko during the preliminary rounds of the tournament.
According to Yahaya Commey, his outfit participation in the competition could serve the country recover its lost slots in the continent's football governing body club competitions if they clinch the title hence Ghanaians should rally behind their course to achieve that aim.
"To every situation you need to start somewhere. If it is for points build up, then it means that all the participating teams in africa, we will need to help them to go. If you remember, I had been saying that both Kotoko and us will need to have progressed in Africa and that was the spirit behind it. If it is left with Aduana alone in Africa, we should not leave them alone," he explained in an interview with Kessben FM.
"Let us assume that Aduana Stars gets to the ultimate, that five points, will it not do something next year in terms of points build up? If so, then it is very very important for us to make sure that, now that it is left with only Aduana Stars, we rally behind them so that next year, all the participating teams will help in getting more points," he added.
Albert Commey feels the club have been neglected in their African Club campaign since the exit of Asante Kotoko SC some few months ago.
But as it is now, it looks like you are left alone to fight for your destinty in Africa and whether you do well or not, it is nobody's business. I think it is bad. Our campaign is very relevant that we have to go far to amass the points for country." He concluded
Aduana Stars suffered their first defeat in Group A of the competition against Asec Mimosa in Cote D'Ivoire last Sunday.
They will welcome Moroccan giants Raja Casablanca in the second game of the group to the Dormaa Agyemang Badu II Park on Sunday, May 19.
