President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Kurt E.S Okraku, has backed Nsoatreman FC to shine in their maiden CAF Confederation Cup campaign.
The 2023/24 MTN FA Cup champions will host Chadian Premier League side, Elect Sport FC, in the preliminary round of the 2024/25 CAF Confederation Cup competition, on Sunday August 18, 2024 at the Accra Sports Stadium.
Okraku has motivated the players and technical team of the 'Efiri Tete Amanaso' to keep their focus and write their names in brilliant calligraphy.
“You carry the aspirations of over 30 million Ghanaians and I will urge you to keep the focus and take your training seriously,” President Simeon-Okraku told the players and technical staff.
“Playing in Africa comes with enormous benefits. It is my fervent hope and prayer that you will raise the flag of our country high as you embark on this adventure.”
“Medeama and Dreams did very well last time and we’re confident about your prospects in the CAF Confederation Cup.”
“The Football Association will continue to offer its support to you in the best way that we can to ensure you deliver for our people. On behalf of myself, the Executive Council and Ghanaians, we wish you well as you begin the journey to conquer Africa.”
Nsoatreman will mark their debut appearance in Africa's inter-club competition at home when they host Elect Sport in the first leg of the round before travelling away for the second leg.
The 'Efiri Tete Amanaso' will use the Accra Sports Stadium as their home venue for the preliminary round of matches after CAF granted both Nsoatreman FC and Samartex 1996 (Ghana’s Champions League representatives) approval for the use of the facility.
