FC Samartex head coach Nurudeen Amadu is confident his team can get a good result in the first leg of their 2024/25 CAF Champions League first round preliminary clash against Victoria United.
The Samreboi-based club will face Victoria United in Cameroon for the first leg of the qualifiers and will host the return leg at the Accra Sports Stadium.
If they succeed, Samartex will then compete against either ASGNN of Niger or Moroccan side Raja Club Athletic in the second round.
The matches for the first preliminary round are scheduled for the upcoming weekend, while the second-round fixtures will take place from September 13-22.
Speaking after his team drew goalless with Togo’s Asko de Kara, Amadu said, his players “defended very well. Also, we were in Montreal, and they were moving all right. They are not a bad side; they are a very good side. They played tactically very, very well. You know, it means that we are very cautious.
“Now, we will see how we will defend and then our transition. But unfortunately, we had just a few chances. All the same, we are teaming up. Yeah, we gave the team a chance. We are teaming up consistently. That is very, very positive.
“And I'm happy that we are teaming up consistently. To me, it's a carry-on. Your first match, I think, is a very good result for Cameroon.”
