Owner and financier of FC Samartex, Dr Richard Duah Nsenkyire, has urged the team to represent Ghana with distinction and make the club's supporters and the nation proud in the CAF Champions League.
The Timber Giants are set to make their debut in this prestigious inter-club competition following their victory in the 2023/24 Ghana Premier League under the leadership of Nurudeen Amadu.
Speaking to the players at their training camp in Safari Valley, located in the Eastern region, Dr Nsenkyire highlighted the importance of unity and collective effort, encouraging each player to contribute their unique skills to achieve excellence and leave a lasting impression.
“Lads, we cannot let Ghana and our supporters down so let's put in a prismatic fight to hoist the flag of Ghana in a remarkable way," he said.
“Let's bring our individual abilities to the table to write a very good story for ourselves,” Dr. Nsenkyire added.
The Green and White team will face Victoria United FC in the first leg of the first preliminary round of the CAF Champions League in Cameroon before hosting the return leg at the Accra Sports Stadium.
The preliminary round, scheduled for August, marks an exciting beginning for Samartex, with the victor moving on to face either ASGNN of Niger or Morocco's Raja Club Athletic in the second round in September.
Samartex is eager to make an impact in their inaugural Champions League campaign and views these upcoming matches as a chance to demonstrate their strength on the continental stage.
