“It’s a big club looking at where they are.They have played African competitions several times and considering the quality of players they have,” he tells JoySports.

Dreams progressed to the semi-final stage after securing a 3-2 aggregate win over Stade Malien.

Their opponents who won the competition in 2019, qualified following a 3-2 aggregate win over Egyptian counterparts, Modern Future.

John Antwi is under no illusions on the enormity of the task.

“So it’s not going to be an easy encounter. But then like I said, I believe in the boys, the hardwork, everything we’ve put into this game and I know God willing were going to come out with a positive result.” He concluded.

The reverse fixture has been scheduled for Sunday, April 28, 2024.

If Dreams progress, they will become only the third Ghanaian club to qualify for the final of the competition, after Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko.
