Medeama Sporting Club captain, Kwasi Donsu, expressed his amusement over the perception held by some people regarding the inability of Ghanaian clubs to win the CAF Champions League.
Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko have won the competition a combined three times.
Donsu, who is gearing up for the 2023/24 edition of the prestigious African club competition, shared his thoughts on the matter.
In an interview with Akoma FM, Donsu expressed his genuine confusion as to why some people doubt the capabilities of Ghanaian clubs when it comes to conquering the CAF Champions League.
He firmly believed that Ghanaian clubs should not settle for mere participation or aim solely for the group stages of the tournament.
Donsu pointed out that Medeama had previously competed in continental competitions and achieved remarkable results. He emphasized that the Ghana Premier League is blessed with top-quality players who are on par with their counterparts from other African nations and clubs.
While acknowledging that there might be areas where Ghanaian clubs lag behind, Donsu expressed confidence in the management and board of Medeama Sporting Club.
"I sometimes don't understand why some people think Ghanaian clubs can't win the Africa Champions league. We should not aim just to add up to the numbers or to target only the group stages.
"Remember Medeama has been in Africa before and we got some huge results.
"Our league is blessed with top quality players who are equally similar to those playing in other African countries and clubs.
"We are only behind in some few areas and I believe management and the board of Medeama will put up the right procedures that will help us make history."
