Ghana Premier League champions, FC Samartex, have been drawn against Cameroonian side Victoria United in the first round of the preliminary stages for the 2024/25 CAF Champions League.
The draw for the prelims of the competition was held on Thursday, July 11, with Samartex in Pot 3 ahead of the draw.
The Samreboi-based side sealed a spot in the Champions League following their triumph at the end of the 2023/24 Ghana Premier League season which saw them beat Accra Lions to the league title.
The first task for the Timber giants will be against Victoria United who were winners of the Cameroonian league.
Nurudeen Amadu's side will travel to Cameroon for the first leg of the game before returning home for the reverse fixture.
The games for the first preliminary round are slated for August 16-25.
Should Samartex beat Victoria United at the end of the two games, they would be up against Niger's AS GNN or Morocco's Raja Club Athletic in the second phase of the qualifiers.
The dates for the second round are scheduled for September 13-22.
Samartex will be making their maiden appearance in the CAF competition and would look to reach the group stages before hoping to go a step further than Medeama SC who exited in the group stage.
