Medeama SC CAF Champions League preparation

Entities: Medeama SC · Usman Safianu · CAF Champions League · Ghana Premier League · Confederation of African Football

Overview

In late July 2026, Ghana Premier League champions Medeama SC announced a US$1.5 million budget to fund its 2026/27 CAF Champions League campaign, signaling an ambition to reach the group stage and compete with Africa’s top clubs. The club confirmed ongoing transfer activity, nearing the signing of striker Emmanuel Annor and having already added midfielder Emmanuel Boateng and attacker Dominic Amponsah.

A few days later, Confederation of African Football granted Category 2 approval for the Tarkwa and Aboso (TnA) Stadium, allowing Medeama to host its preliminary‑round fixtures in Tarkwa for the first time. The club also confirmed the free‑transfer signing of defender Usman Safianu on a three‑year deal, reinforcing a squad that conceded only 28 goals in 34 league matches the previous season under coach Ibrahim Tanko.
