GFA President urges FC Samartex to draw inspiration from Medeama and Dreams ahead of maiden African campaign

The President of the Ghana Football Association, Kurt Okraku, has urged FC Samartex 1996 to draw inspiration

from the progress made by Medeama SC and Dreams FC in the 2023-24 CAF Inter-club competitions,

ahead of their debut CAF Champions League campaign.

Kurt-Okraku gave this charge to the Ghana Premier League Champions when he visited their training session on

Tuesday; as they wrap up preparations ahead of their trip to Cameroon to battle Victoria United FC, in the first

leg of the preliminary match of the TotalEnergies CAF Champions League on 17 August.

Medeama SC, winners of the 2022-23 Ghana Premier League Champions, reached the group stage of the TotalEnergies CAF Champions League in their maiden appearance.

Dreams FC reached the semi-finals of the CAF Confederation Cup marking a historic achievement, as they became the first Ghanaian club in 20 years to reach that stage.

to reach this stage of a CAF interclub competition. Their performance deserves significant commendation.

“Your colleagues have done it just a few months ago. It’s your turn to go the extra mile to put Ghana back on the

map as far as Confederation of African Football Inter-club competitions go. I have no doubt that there’s quality in

this team. You are true champions and worthy representatives of our country in Africa. You won the Ghana

Premier League on merit. I have absolute trust in the technical team to guide all of you in this adventure.”

He congratulated the team for winning the 2023-34 Ghana Premier League title – a monumental feat for a young Premier League side.

“I’m happy to have a physical opportunity to say Ayekoo [congratulations] for being champions of Ghana. I think

since you won the trophy, I have not been able to be physically present. I really wanted to be at the coronation but circumstances beyond my control didn’t allow it to happen.”
