Hearts of Oak leave for Morocco to face Raja Casablanca

Ghana's Champion club and the only representative left in the Continental Championship in Africa this year will embark on another journey to win Continental honors as they emplane for Casablanca via Italy tonight.

The champion club of Ghana will play Moroccan Champions Raja Casablanca on Sunday. Last year the Phobians were edged out of the competition on superior goals aggregate in favor of Dynamos of Zimbabwe. This time around, the Phobians hope to get it right under the instructions and technical competence of Osam Doudu, Offei Ansah and Kwaku Lamptey.

Players like Desmond Amoah, Edmumd Copson and Ishmael Addo will not make the trip, as they are not eligible to play. This is because of the yellow cards the received in the preliminary rounds.
