Nations FC coach Kassim Mingle Ocansey exudes confidence in his team's ability to secure the championship if the opportunity arises, as they currently trail league leaders FC Samartex by a mere five points.

Sitting comfortably in second place on the Ghana Premier League table with 44 points, the Abrankese-based side is eyeing a historic league title in their inaugural season.

Under the tactical guidance of Mingle and assistant Johnson Smith, Nations FC has enjoyed a remarkable debut season, showcasing effective strategies on the field.

Despite narrowly missing out on victory in their recent encounter against Bofoakwa Tano, the team remains steadfast in their pursuit of narrowing the gap at the top.

Coach Mingle underscored the team's ambition, affirming, "Everyone playing in the league has the ambition of winning it, so if the opportunity comes, we will win the league," during an interview with Connect FM.

He attributed their success to rigorous training, unwavering dedication, discipline, and motivation from the management.

Additionally, the cohesive synergy between the two coaches, Mingle and Johnson Smith, enhances their strategic approach and understanding.

Striker Asamoah Boateng Afriyie has emerged as a standout performer for Nations FC, contributing 10 goals in the league.

With just two goals shy of the league's top scorer, Stephen Amankona, Afriyie's impact has been instrumental to the team's achievements.

As Nations FC continues to make waves in their debut season, fans eagerly anticipate the possibility of witnessing their remarkable journey culminate in lifting the prestigious Ghana Premier League trophy.
