In a motivating display of support, Sports Minister Hon. Mustapha Ussif delivered a fervent call to action to Dreams FC, urging the team to dazzle the continent with their skills as they embark on their Caf Confederation Cup campaign.
The minister's passionate address came during the team's visit, setting the stage for an exciting journey that holds the hopes and dreams of a nation.
The club was led to the Ministry by GFA 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. Abdul Karim Zito was also part of the delegation representing the technical team with Abdul Jalilu also leading a team of players.
“As a representative of the nation, it is our expectation that you put up a very good show,” Hon. Ussif 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,” he ended.
Dreams FC will take on debutant Milo FC de Kankan of Guinea in the first preliminary round of the 2023/24 CAF Confederations Cup.
The 'Still Believe' lads will be competing in the tournament for the first time in their history after winning the FA Cup against Kong Faisal.
The first preliminary round is scheduled to take place from 18 to 20 August for the first-leg matches and 25 to 27 August for the second-leg encounters.
The second preliminary will come off 15 to 17 September for the first leg games, and the returning fixtures are from September 19 to October 1.
Dreams will make the trip to Guinea for the first leg before coming home to host Milo at the Accra Sports Stadium in the second leg.
The winner of the tie will face either AS Douanes (Niger) or Kallon FC (Sierra Leone) in the second preliminary round for a spot in the group stage.
