Ghana Premier League side Dreams FC has been nominated for the men's club of the year in the 2024 Confederation of African Football (CAF) Award after an impressive Africa campaign last season.
Dreams FC have been shortlisted for the prestigious award after reaching the semi-final stage of the 2023-24 CAF Confederation Cup in their debut appearance.
The Ghanaian club achieved the historic feat under coach Karim Zito, who guided them to the semis. However, they missed out on the final after losing to Zamalek FC on 3-0 aggregate despite holding the Egyptian club to draw in the first leg tie in Cairo.
Dreams FC have been nominated in the CAF men's club of the year category alongside reigning CAF Champions League title holders Al Ahly, Zamalek, Simba SC, Young Africans SC, Mamelodi Sundowns, TP Mazembe, RS Berkane, Esperance de Tunis, and others.
