He said that despite the lack of funding, the Mauve and Yellows are determined to deliver.
"We are still preparing; we haven't given anybody pressure I don't want to talk too much about money; we want to concentrate on the match to bring glory to Ghana. As we are determined to be victorious, that is what we are focused on," he added.

Medeama will seek their first win in the competition when they host CR Belouizdad at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium on Friday, December 1, 2023, in their second group game.
