Swedru All Black Stars striker Rudolf Nana Mensah believes competing in the Access One Division One League Zone 2 is very tough because of the presence of several traditional football clubs in the zone.
He said this in an exclusive interview with Citi Sports in the aftermath of All Blacks 1-1 draw with the Black Galaxies. The Galaxies are preparing to play against Nigeria ahead of a crucial tie against Nigeria in the 2025 CHAN qualifiers.
Having competed in the Division One Zone 3 with Golden Kick, Mensah ranked the Zone 2 as very tough when comparing the zones.
“I think Zone 2 is very tough. Unlike the Zone 3, Zone 3 we love to play around with the ball a little bit but the Zone 2 is very tough. You know most of the traditional clubs are in Zone 2 so when they are coming for matches, it goes beyond just a normal league match.”
“It’s more or less like two towns against each other…and we are still trying our best and doing our best to get to the top.”
