In what promises to be a baptism of fire, Ghana Premier League champions Medeama SC is set to lock horns with some of the continent's fiercest competitors in Group D of the CAF Champions League.
Medeama will take on serial winners Al Ahly, Tanzanian side Young Africans, and Algerian outfit CR Belouizdad in Group D.
The Yellow and Mauve outfit represented Ghana in the preliminary round of the CAF Inter-club competition after winning the Premier League at the end of last season.
In the final playoff tie of the preliminary rounds, Medeama SC locked horns with Horoya AC.
In Conakry, Medeama SC lost 2-1 to Horoya AC but even that could not stop the Ghanaians from qualifying for the group stages of the CAF Champions League.
A 3-1 first-leg advantage over Horoya AC means that Medeama SC advances in the competition with a 4-3 aggregate win.
Medeama is set to travel to the USA to take on DC United in a friendly game.
