FC Samartex 1996 has revealed that the Accra Sports Stadium will host their Champions League preliminary round matches, following approval from the Confederation of African Football (CAF). This development offers the Ghana Premier League champions a chance to shine on an international stage and represent Ghana in one of Africa’s top football tournaments.
The Timber Giants will face Cameroonian champions Victoria United FC in the second leg of the preliminary round on August 25, 2024. The first leg is scheduled for August 18, 2024, at the Omnisport Stadium in Limbe, Cameroon.
“This match is not just a pivotal moment for the club but a significant event for Ghanaian football,” a club representative emphasized. Samartex is urging all fans and the broader sporting community to support them during this important continental debut.
Advancing from this preliminary round will lead the winner to the second stage, where they could face Moroccan heavyweights Raja Club Athletic for a spot in the group stages.
This opportunity highlights a crucial moment for FC Samartex, as they seek to make a lasting impact in African club football.
