Owner and financier of FC Samartex, Dr Richard Duah Nsenkyire, has called on his team to represent Ghana with pride and excellence as they prepare for their debut in the CAF Champions League. Under the leadership of Nurudeen Amadu, the Timber Giants secured victory in the 2023/24 Ghana Premier League, earning them a spot in this prestigious inter-club competition.
Speaking to the players during their training camp in Safari Valley, located in the Eastern region, Dr Nsenkyire emphasized the importance of unity and teamwork. He encouraged each player to bring their unique skills to the table in order to achieve success and leave a lasting impact.
“We cannot afford to disappoint Ghana and our supporters, so let’s give it our all and raise the flag of Ghana in a spectacular way,” Dr. Nsenkyire stated. “Let’s combine our individual talents to create a memorable story for ourselves.”
The Green and White team is set to face off against Victoria United FC in the first leg of the first preliminary round of the CAF Champions League in Cameroon. They will then host the return leg at the Accra Sports Stadium.
The preliminary round, taking place in August, marks the beginning of an exciting journey for Samartex. The winner of this round will move on to face either ASGNN of Niger or Morocco’s Raja Club Athletic in the second round in September.
Samartex is determined to make an impact in their first Champions League campaign and sees these upcoming matches as the perfect opportunity to showcase their prowess on the continental stage.
