The FA Cup champions secured the passage to this stage of the competition after they played a 1-1 draw in the first leg and they later exhibited a strong fighting spirit by coming from a goal down to beat Milo FC 2-1 in the second leg at the Accra Stadium.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Now, Dreams FC stand on the precipice of advancing to the competition\u2019s group stage, but their journey hinges on prevailing against FC Kallon, a side propelled into this round due to the withdrawal of AS Douanes amid political turmoil in Niger.<\/p>\n

Speaking ahead of the game, Karim Zito, who is the head coach of the side highlighted that their objective is to reach the money zone of the tournament but added that it will not be an easy game against FC Kallon.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a two-sided game because we are all a step closer to the group stage and each team would like to qualify, but for us, our objective is to make sure that we win and qualify.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt won\u2019t be easy and we anticipate a tough match but our focus and ambition still remain to win no matter what,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, General Manager of the side, Ameenu Shardown also speaking on Asempa FM\u2019s Ultimate Sports Show<\/strong> on Friday insisted that, they are bent on ensuring they put up a good fight to rescue Ghana\u2019s lost slot in Africa.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe last time a Ghanaian club reached the money zone of the Confederations Cup was Asante Kotoko in 2015 and we (Dreams FC) are determined to put up a good fight to rescue our lost slot in Africa. We will play good football and get a good result before we travel for the return leg,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Kallon FC arrived in Ghana on Wednesday and held their mandatory\u00a0training at the Accra Sports Stadium on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Dreams FC will be hosted at the\u00a0Southern Arena Stadium in the return leg on Friday, September 29.<\/p>\n
