Tarkwa Erupts! Medeama Sc Are Ghana Premier League Champions For The Second Time
It is official. The Mauve and Yellow are back on top of Ghanaian football — and they did it in style.
The Crowning Moment
Medeama SC clinched the 2025/26 Ghana Premier League title in emphatic fashion after a scintillating 5-2 demolition of Heart of Lions at a packed Tarkwa and Aboso Stadium on a rain-soaked Sunday afternoon. The resounding victory sealed Medeama’s second Premier League title with a game to spare, capping what has been a remarkable and absorbing campaign for the Mauve and Yellow under coach Ibrahim Tanko.
The Goals That Made History
Medeama drew first blood in the 18th minute when Kelvin Obeng opened the scoring, sending the home supporters into early celebration. Star forward Kelvin Obeng and the influential Derrick Fordjour stole the spotlight with sensational brace performances, powering the hosts to a memorable victory and sparking wild celebrations across Tarkwa. Fordjour extended the lead in the 72nd minute before adding his second ten minutes later to make it 4-1, effectively putting the contest beyond the reach of the visitors and igniting scenes of jubilation among the home faithful. Although Heart of Lions’ Dogli converted from the penalty spot to reduce the deficit and offer a flicker of hope, Medeama had the final word — Prince Owusu adding the fifth goal late on to complete a commanding display and seal a fitting coronation for the new champions.
A Season Of Resilience
The journey to the title was anything but straightforward. The Yellow and Mauves endured a difficult spell mid-season, surrendering their lead to Bibiani Gold Stars after a six-game winless streak that raised concerns about their title ambitions. However, Medeama responded in emphatic fashion, securing crucial victories to reclaim the summit of the league table, underlining their resilience in the title race.
The victory moves Medeama five points clear at the top of the table with just one match remaining, officially confirming them as champions of Ghana for the second time in the club’s history. Beyond the silverware, Medeama’s triumph also marks the return of the Ghana Premier League title to Tarkwa for the first time in three years, while extending the dominance of the Western Region in Ghanaian football.
Ibrahim Tanko’s Masterclass
The title rewards a consistent and controlled season under coach Ibrahim Tanko. Tactical discipline, consistency in results and offensive efficiency were the keys to the Tarkwa-based club’s success. This triumph also confirms Medeama SC’s rise as one of the most solid clubs in Ghanaian football.
Continental Glory Awaits
Thanks to this title, Medeama SC will represent Ghana in the next edition of the TotalEnergies CAF Champions League, with the ambition of making their mark on the continental stage.
The Verdict
From the very first matchday to a rain-soaked title coronation in Tarkwa, Medeama SC showed the heart of champions all season long. Two titles, one club, one city — Tarkwa belongs to the Mauve and Yellow!
