History of Medeama Football Club
The football club was founded in 2008. Initially, Medeam’s management did not have high hopes and ambitions, so the club was considered as a third division team. After two years of existence, FC Medeama was already in the first division and intended to advance to the top league. The first attempt was unsuccessful.
In 2010, the club received a football license and has not left the Ghana Premier League since 2011. Medeama is based in the city of Tarkwa in Akune Park. The small stadium can accommodate 10,000 fans and is also the base of the Nzema Kotoko club, which plays in the Ghana First Division. For 2023, the team is one of the top four clubs in Ghana and has 40 players in its squad. The club’s management strives to expand and improve the team by training young players and buying experienced athletes.
Club achievements
The main victory of Medeam without a doubt should be called the Ghana Premier League Cup. The team played 34 matches, 18 of which ended in victory. There were 6 more draws and 10 losses. The players scored 44 goals and conceded 29. In the last match, Medeama won against Tamale City with a score of 3:0. The match took place at the Akun Park stadium. Silver went to the Aduan team, which became the champion twice. Bronze was taken by the titled club Bechem United. The traditional leader Asante Kotoko, who previously became the champion of Ghana 25 times, this time only reached 4th place. While the eminent team Hearts of Oak, which was the first champion of the league, remained in 14th place in the standings.
Moreover, Medeama won the MTN FA Cup twice in 2013 and 2015. In the matches of the Ghana Football Association, the club beat Asante Kotoko twice and became the champion. In 2015, the team also took the Ghana Super Cup. Medeama has represented Ghana twice in the African Confederation Cup of Nations. The club has existed for about 15 years, so its track record is still small. Despite this, the owner of the team and its management plan to show the club as effectively as possible in the Champions League and are preparing to fight for the Ghana Cup in 2024.
