Kasim Mingle Eyes Historic Title Win with Nations FC
Nations FC head coach Kasim Ocansey Mingle has expressed confidence in his team’s chances of clinching the Ghana Premier League title, while also urging his players to remain focused during the final stretch of the season.
With just two games remaining in the 2024/25 campaign, the Abrankese-based side currently leads the table with 60 points and stands on the brink of a historic first league triumph.
Speaking in an interview with Akoma FM, Mingle reflected on his previous experiences with title-chasing sides and underlined the difference in ambition at his current club.
“I worked at Bechem, and we came near several times, but they (Bechem United) were not interested in winning the league; however, here (at Nations), they are interested, and they want to go for the ultimate, so I am also prepared,” he said.
Mingle, who has been instrumental in Nations FC’s rise, emphasized the importance of maintaining focus as the season concludes. He warned against complacency and stressed the need to treat each remaining fixture as a final.
“We will not allow complacency to creep into our team, we will focus and compete until the last game to prove that we are actually champions,” he stated.
“The race is still open, and we are focused on whatever we are doing. We have been psyching the players whenever there is a game, and we are taking the remaining matches one after the other, first on Basake and then on Heart of Lions,” he added.
Nations FC are set to face Basake Holy Stars in their penultimate match before wrapping up the season against Heart of Lions. Two positive results could see Mingle and his side lift their maiden Premier League title — a moment that would mark a milestone in the club’s history and the coach’s career.
