In a historic turn of events, Medeama SC, the reigning champions of the 2022/23 Ghana Premier League, has shattered Ghana's longstanding progression to the group stage curse in the CAF Champions League.
The last Ghanaian club to advance beyond this pivotal stage was Berekum Chelsea back in 2012. Since then, numerous attempts by Ghanaian sides to progress to the coveted 'money zone' have been met with frustration and disappointment.
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.
Today 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.
