Dreams FC will represent Ghana in the CAF Confederation Cup Semi-Finals after defeating Stade Malien of Mali on Sunday, April 7.
The Ghanaian side will face a tough challenge against the Egyptian team, Zamalek.
Zamalek will host the first leg of their match in Cairo on April 21, while the second leg will be played on April 28 at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium.
In their previous game, Dreams FC won an impressive 2-1 victory in Mali. They came from behind to secure a 1-1 draw in their most recent match, which secured their place in the next stage of the CAF Inter-Club competition.
This is the first time that Dreams FC has participated in the CAF Interclub semi-finals, making them the first Ghanaian club in 20 years to reach the knockout stages of a CAF Interclub competition.
Despite their 2-1 away win in their previous match, Dreams FC approached the game cautiously, allowing the 2009 champions to have more possession in the hopes of catching them on the break. This is a historic moment for Dreams FC, as they are now near continental glory.
Dreams FC became the first Ghanaian club to reach the CAF Confederation Cup semi-finals since 2004 when Asante Kotoko and Hearts of Oak achieved the feat in the tournament’s inaugural edition.
Cairo’s Zamalek drew 1-1 with Modern Future FC to reach Confederation Cup semi-finals.
The Ghanaian side @DreamsFootballC will face a tough challenge against the Egyptian team, @ZSCOfficial in the CAF Confederation Cup semis.
