Raja returns to Accra since October 23rd 1999 when they drew goalless against Hearts of Oak at the Accra Sports Stadium in matchday 5 of the group stage of the CAF Champions League.

After beaten Cameroonian champions, Victoria United in their debut Champions League tie, they are meeting the experienced 1997 champions.
Double winners and unbeaten in Morocco in the 2023-24 season, Sarmatex must quadruple their efforts before they can secure a favorable scoreline ahead of the second leg.

Samartex has won Ghana’s Super Cup and drew goalless against Dreams in their opening league fixture of the new season.
Raja Casablanca on the other hand was unbeaten in the entire season in the 2023-24 campaign but got the new season underway with a 1-0 home defeat against RS Berkane.
