GFA pres motivates Nsoatreman FC ahead of CAF Confed Cup debut
The President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Kurt Edwin Simeon-Okraku, has backed Nsoatreman FC to excel in their debut CAF Confederation Cup campaign.
Nsoatreman, which clinched the 2023-24 MTN FA Cup, will host Chad Premier League side, Elect Sport FC, in the preliminary round.
President Simeon-Okraku told the players: “You carry the aspirations of over 30 million Ghanaians and I will urge you to keep the focus and take your training seriously.
“Playing in Africa comes with enormous benefits. It is my fervent hope and prayer that you will raise the flag of our country as you embark on this adventure.”
“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.”
The Nsoatre-based side 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.
The preliminary round will commence between August 16- 18, 2024, and the winner of the two-leg tie will face the winner of the match between Algerian side, CS Constantine, and Police FC of Rwanda in the second round in September.
