As the new football season intensifies, Edmund Ackah, General Manager of FC Samartex has indicated that they are going all out to annex all the points at stake against Raja Casablanca in the CAF Champions League face off.
The Timber Giants see off Cameroonian side Victoria United in the first preliminary round to set up a tie with the Moroccan giants in the second round of the competition.
Raja is expected to arrive in Ghana on Friday, September 13, 2024 for the crunch encounter on Sunday, at the Accra Sports Stadium.
Edmund Ackah told Kessben FM in an interview that his team was well prepared for the fierce showdown.
“Preparation for Raja started right after our game against Victoria United in Accra. We’ve been in camp preparing well for them.
“Raja is a big team. It is just like Kotoko and Hearts of Oak. Samartex playing Kotoko or Hearts on any day is a David and Goliath affair and that is how we see the Raja game.
“We are the underdogs because we are just three years in the Premier League. We will make names for ourselves if we beat them but if they beat us is no news. Notwithstanding, we will not underestimate ourselves against Raja. We are going all out."
