FC Samartex has announced that they have extended goalkeeper Kofi Baah’s contract for another year following his exceptional performance in the 2023/24 Ghana Premier League season.
Baah, who managed to secure 14 clean sheets in 28 matches, played a crucial role in FC Samartex’s successful campaign, which led them to their first-ever Premier League title under the guidance of head coach Nurudeen Amadu.
Expressing his excitement about the contract extension, Baah mentioned, “I am thrilled to be continuing my journey with FC Samartex 1996 until 2026. Positive discussions with the management have assured me that this club is the perfect place for me to grow and contribute towards the team’s goals.”
In addition to the contract extension, FC Samartex is now preparing for their maiden appearance in the CAF Champions League. The team is scheduled to face Victoria United FC from Cameroon in the preliminary round. The first leg match will take place in Limbe, Cameroon, with the return fixture set to be hosted at the Accra Sports Stadium.
The preliminary round, which is set for August, promises to be an exciting start for Samartex. The victor of this round will progress to meet either ASGNN of Niger or Morocco’s Raja Club Athletic in the second round in September. Samartex is looking to leave a mark in their debut Champions League campaign and sees these upcoming matches as an opportunity to showcase their talent on the continental stage.
