As part of the side’s preparation for the CAF inter-club competition, the technical team, the playing body, and the management team successfully had their COVID-19 test on Thursday.

Hearts will face Guinean outfit Club Industriel Kamsar in the opening match of the qualifying round.

Coach Samuel Boadu and his charges have already began pre-season training season.

Hearts of Oak last clinched the prestigious CAF Champions League title in the year 2000 — beating Tunisian powerhouses Esperance in a two-legged final.

Hearts defeated Egyptian outfit Zamalek the following year to win the CAF Super Cup.

In 2004, Hearts of Oak added CAF Confederation Cup to their two African titles after beating fiercest rivals Asante Kotoko in the final.
