Medeama winger Derrick Fordjour says, their objective is to make impact in the upcoming CAF Champions League campaign.
The Yellow and Mauves are representing Ghana in Africa’s elite club competition after emerging as winners in the immediate past Ghana Premier League campaign.
The Tarkwa-based club drawn Nigerian side Remo Stars in the first preliminary round of the CAF Champions League.
The draw ceremony for the 2023-24 CAF inter-club took place at the CAF headquarters in Cairo, Egypt on Tuesday, July 25, 2023.
This is the first the Tarkwa-based club will compete in the elite football competition in their history, having previously played in the CAF Confederation Cup in 2014 and 2017.
Medeama will host Remo in the first leg of the tie at the Cape Coast Stadium before travelling to Nigeria for the second leg.
“We know it’s not going to be easy for us but we are determined to make Ghanaians proud in Africa. There is a bit of pressure because opposition teams can boast of quality but we will stay focus to excel” he told Kessben FM monitored by Footballghana.com.
Medeama's last participation in CAF inter-club competitions was in 2016, where they reached the group stages after eliminating South African giants Mamelodi Sundowns in the playoff.
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.
The winner of this tie will take on Guinean giants Horoya AC in the second preliminary round, and the winner from there will make it to the group stage.
