Hlompho Kekana says his side Mamelodi Sundowns are ready for the challenge against Medeama SC in the CAF Confederation Cup play-off first leg.

The newly crowned PSL champions host the Ghana FA Cup champions at the Lucas Moripe Stadium on Saturday.

Sundowns were eliminated from the Champions League but can still make with qualification to the money zone of CAF’s second-tier inter-clubs competition.

Kekana says they have still got the appetite to go further.

"As players we want to play in competitions were there are big teams, were there is competition. You need to test yourself with the big guns,” Kekana is quoted by kickoff.com

"This is what we do as Mamelodi Sundowns. We want to apply ourselves in every match and try to win matches.

"It is a good feeling to win matches and for us to go to Africa every now and then is a lesson that we will cherish for the rest of our lives.

"I personally love to go to those places and try to see how far I am in terms of the character that I have.

"I am going to be a father one day so I need to be a tough man.

"These are games that we still need to play to gauge how far we can compete on the continent so there is absolutely no way we will be looking down on this competition."

The return leg scheduled for 18 May in Sekondi with the winner advancing to the Group stage of the competition.
