Asante Kotoko head coach Eric Tinkler has vowed to make the Baba Yara Stadium a fortress for visiting teams in the ongoing 2026/27 Ghana Premier League.
The Porcupine Warriors picked up their first three points of the campaign by ending their winless run against Heart of Lions.
Speaking to the media after the win, the South African trainer believes Kotoko must make home advantage count by ensuring that no visiting side leaves Kumasi with points.
He added that achieving that objective will require the full backing of the club’s passionate supporters, whose presence he believes can create an intimidating atmosphere for visiting teams.
“We need to make our stadium a fortress, and we need to make it very difficult for teams to come here, and the fans play a big part in that,” he said.
Tinkler said Kotoko must build an aura around the Baba Yara Stadium that would make opponents uncomfortable even before stepping onto the pitch.
“Teams should fear to come here because of the support base that we have and, with them, we can obviously change that history,” he added.
The coach believes a strong home record will be critical to Kotoko’s ambitions this season and has challenged his players and supporters to work together to make the Baba Yara Stadium a difficult venue for every opponent.
Asante Kotoko will be on the road this weekend when they travel to play FC Samartex at the Nsenkyire Sports Arena on Sunday in the Matchday 3 games.
