FC Samartex General Manager, Edmund Ackah, has revealed that the club started preseason on Monday, July 1, 2024, in preparation for the 2024/25 CAF Champions League.

This comes just over two weeks since the conclusion of the Ghana Premier League season, where they made history by winning their first title in only their second top-flight campaign.

By winning the title, they earned the right to represent Ghana in Africa’s flagship club competition.

Speaking at the Ghana Football Awards on Saturday, Edmund Ackah disclosed that they are starting preparations in earnest.

“We are resuming preseason on the first of July, Monday. We are starting because the next game is on the 16th of August in the Champions League. So, we cannot wait.

“We need a minimum of six weeks, a maximum of eight weeks to prepare for the first leg. And for that matter, the preseason. So, we are camping in the Eastern Region, training at the favorite Safari Valley.

“It’s where we have been camping for the past three seasons for our preseason.”

The draw for the CAF Confederation Cup preliminary stage is yet to be conducted for Samartex to know which team they are coming up against.
