Association Sportive de la Vallée de l'Ouémé (ASVO) FC assistant coach Damian Kpakpo has assured Beninese fans that Fatai Osho will qualify the team to the Super League, while saying the Optima Energy Gold Cup preseason tournament will put them in top shape going into the season.

"We are all really excited to be in Nigeria for the Optima Energy Gold Cup. The platform we want to use to measure the team as we have new players in the team," said Kpakpo.
"Our first match was a tough one against Beyond Limits as we featured old, new players and products from our academy. But it was a unique experience for us, the coaches and players are learning new things from Fatai Osho as well as some players having the opportunity to take part in a pre-season tournament outside Benin Republic.
"Osho is a top coach in the Nigeria Premier Football League, so we have a lot to learn from him. In our second game against Ijebu United, we played better and got a draw. If our players made good use of the chances we could have won the match.
" I can say that we are improving in our matches and everyone is certain Osho can make things work for ASVO in the new season. "
After missing out of qualifying for the Benin Championnat National playoffs (Super League) for the first time last season, Kpakpo is optimistic that ASVO FC will do better.
"We are so willing to start again, and qualify for the playoffs. The preseason has been challenging, but I know going back to Benin for the new season, our fans will see an entirely different ASVO.
" ASVO FC have some new players from Nigeria that will add quality and experience to the team and help qualify for the Super League."
