The first phase of the Tarkwa based club pre-season has been a success, with the technical team placing significant emphasis on physical conditioning, endurance training, and overall fitness. Players have undergone intensive running sessions and strength-building exercises to ensure they are in peak physical condition ahead of the new season.
The upcoming phase in Côte d’Ivoire will shift the focus to tactical drills, ball work, and improving team chemistry.
