But watchout for Medeama, which ever team comes up, we are ready to face them.
The supporters back home are also ready for which ever team comes up to face at Tarkwa.
We want to go ahead perform and so we can gradually increase our slots in CAF’s competitions.
Medeama SC are the current champions of Ghana’s top flight, clinching the title for the very first time in 47 years under Head Coach Evans Augustine Adotey.
By virtue of its success in the domestic season and some impressive performances in the preliminary rounds, Medeama earned the right to represent Ghana in the group stages of the CAF Champions League, the first time a Ghanaian side has made it to that stage in 11 years.
Medeama SC will travel to Egypt first to face Al-Ahly on the 24-25 November, before welcoming CR Beliouzdad to Tarkwa on December 1-2, then Young Africans again at home on December 8-9, make an away trip to Dar es Salaam at the Benjamin Mkapa Stadium.
On 23-24 February, they take on Al-Ahly here in Ghana, then a final trip to Algeria to face CR Belouizdad.
