CAF Champions League: We’ll prove our worth against Al Ahly - Medeama spox Patrick Akoto

Medeama SC spokesperson, Patrick Akoto is confident about his outfit chances ahead of their crucial CAF Champions league group stage opener against giants, Al Ahly.

The record Champions League holders will play host to the Yellow and Mauves at the Al Salam Stadium in Cairo on Saturday.

Despite acknowledging Al Ahly’s qualities, Akoto believes his side have what it takes to battle it out with Africa's most successful club, Al Ahly.

“Of course, facing Al Ahly will be very difficult, because it will be against the most successful and best club in Africa. It is a real honor to play against Al-Ahly and an opportunity for us to showcase our team in front of the good people of Egypt and the rest of the African continent and the world," he told Al Gomhor.

Medeama SC are unfazed by the pedigree of their opponents and are ready to match them boot-for-boot.

“We will play a great match against Al-Ahly, even though they are the first team nominated to win the title, but we are also the champions of Ghana, and we will need to prove that on Saturday," added Akoto.
