Published on: 10 October 2023

Board Member of Medeama SC, George Mireku Duker, has affirmed that their aim is to win the CAF Champions League trophy.

The Ghana Premier League champions have been housed in Group D of the Champions League alongside 11-time & reigning Champions Al-Ahly, Tanzanian Champions Young Africans & Algerian side CR Belouizdad.

George Mireku Duker, who also doubles as the Member of Parliament for Tarkwa Nsuaem Constituency and Deputy Minister for Lands & Natural Resources says they are ready to face any opposition.

According to him, their objective is to change the narrative of Ghanaian clubs misfiring in CAF’s Inter-Club Competitions and also etch their name in the history books of Ghana Football.

"We want to take the trophy, that’s our aim, we are not just going to participate," he told Citi Sports.

"That’s why I said, we are going to shock the world, we are the underdogs, obviously.

"But watch out for Medeama, whichever team comes up, we are ready to face them.

"The supporters back home are also ready for whichever team comes up to face at Tarkwa.

"We want to go ahead perform and so we can gradually increase our slots in CAF’s competitions," he added.

Medeama SC will travel to Egypt first to face Al-Ahly on the 24-25 November, before welcoming CR Beliouzdad to Tarkwa on December 1-2, then Young Africans again at home on December 8-9, make an away trip to Dar es Salaam at the Benjamin Mkapa Stadium.

On 23-24 February, they take on Al-Ahly here in Ghana, then a final trip to Algeria to face CR Belouizdad.
