Dreams FC head coach, Abdul Karim Zito, says clubs on the continent will begin to take them seriously after booking their spot in the semifinal of the 2023/24 CAF Confederation Cup.

The Still Believe lads made history by becoming the first Ghanaian club in 20 years to reach the semifinal of the competition.

This is the first time Dreams FC are participating in a CAF inter-club competition, and have exceeded the expectations of many.

The FA Cup holders drew 1-1 with Mali’s Stade Malien in the reverse fixture of the quarterfinal on Sunday at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium and progressed 3-2 on aggregate.

“At the end of the day, we will not allow this qualification to put us down. We are going to fight. You've seen it.

“Here it was more difficult than when we went there. I told them this opposition will be better.

“They'll be more difficult than what we had over there. So I think now people will take us seriously now when we go to the semi-finals. But trust me, we'll be there.”
