**Dreams FC Shift Focus to Ghana Premier League and FA Cup After CAF Confederation Cup Exit**
Dreams FC has pivoted its attention to the Ghana Premier League and FA Cup following their departure from the CAF Confederation Cup.
According to Sylvester Simba, the team's attacking midfielder, managing the demands of all three competitions proved challenging, leading to a decision to prioritize domestic endeavors after their elimination from the continental tournament.
Dreams' journey in Africa ended with a 3-0 loss to Zamalek, marking the advancement of the Egyptian giants to the final.
Now, Dreams aims to secure victory in the FA Cup to potentially earn a return to the CAF Confederation Cup, as they currently stand in the quarter-finals.
In the league, however, they confront the task of escaping the relegation zone, with four matches still to be played.
"We were competing in three major competitions (The Ghana Premier League, FA Cup, and Confederation Cup), there was a bit of fatigue in the team," explained Simba.
"We were more accustomed to facing our African opponents than the GPL teams. But now that our journey in Africa has concluded, our main focus will be on the league. We assure our fans that we will step up in the league. You will start to see Dreams winning games home and away," he affirmed in an interview with Kessben FM.
Nations FC coach Kassim Mingle expressed his dismay following his team's disappointing 0-0 draw against Bibiani Gold Stars.
Ex-Ghana international Asamoah Gyan has commended Abdul Fatawu Issahaku for forfeiting debut apperance at the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Ivory Coast to focus on club football at Leicester City in the English Championship.
Issahaku, who is currently on loan from Sporting CP, chose to prioritize his long-term future at Leicester City over international duties with the Black Stars at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
The former Black Stars captain in a recent interview said the decision from the 20-year-old winger not to play the AFCON has proven to be a beneficial to his career and has become a key figure at the King Power Stadium outfit.
Gyan in an interview said: “Although we needed him in the national team, but for him not to come to the AFCON, I think is the best decision he made because he had to focus on his playing career and make sure he gets to the height and Ghanaians had patience for him despite little criticism but I think it has paid off.”
Fatawu Issahaku, on loan at Leicester City has played a crucial role in their promotion back to the English Premier League as Championship winners.
He has netted six goals and provided 13 asssits in 39 league appearances for the Foxes.
Leicester City are expected to cough up €17 million in the summer to acquire the Ghanaian international from Portuguese side Sporting CP on permenant basis.
