Minister of Youth and Sports, Mustapha Ussif has assured Dreams FC of government support ahead of their maiden African campaign.

The Still Believe lads will compete in the CAF Confederations Cup for the first time in their history after emerging as FA Cup champions last season.

On Thursday, Dreams FC paid a visit to the Minister of Youth and Sports and presented the prestigious FA Cup trophy, which they had won for the very first time in their history.

The Dreams FC delegation was led by Ghana FA Executive Council member Frederick Acheampong, who has been elected as Dreams FC’s leader of delegation for the African campaign.

Other members included Greater Accra RFA chairman Samuel Aboabir and Dreams FC President Mohammed Jiji Alifoe, coach Abdul Karim Zito and captain Abdul Jalilu.

Speaking at the gathering, General Manager Ameenu Shardow said: “We have made all the efforts to prepare the team well for this challenge.

“The technical and playing body have been boosted with some quality additions and we’re confident we will do well.”

Meanwhile, the Minister Hon. Mustapha Ussif charged Dreams FC to put up a good show as Ghana’s representative while assuring the club of the state’s support.

“As a representative of the nation, it is our expectation that you put up a very good show,” he said. “Ghana’s performance in African club competition in recent times have not been inspiring and it’s our hope that Dreams FC changes this narrative this season.

“We will do our best to offer all the support required to help you perform well.”

Dreams FC will begin their campaign against Guinea outfit Milo FC. The Still Believe lads will travel to Guinea for the first leg on August 19 before the reverse fixture at the Accra Sports Stadium.
