The Tarkwa based outfit are champions of the 2022/23 Ghana Premier League season after ending the campaign with 60 points.

Medeama made history in Tarkwa on Sunday as they clinched their first-ever Ghana Premier League title, becoming the 12th club to achieve this feat.

In a decisive final game against Tamale City, Medeama secured a comfortable win at Akoon Park with goals from Kwadwo Amoako, Jonathan Sowah and, cementing their status as champions.

This remarkable achievement places Medeama among the prestigious ranks of Ghanaian football, alongside perennial powerhouses such as Asante Kotoko and Hearts of Oak.

 

 

The victory marks a significant milestone in Medeama’s history, solidifying their place among the country’s footballing elite. Their triumph is a testament to the hard work, dedication, and talent of the players, coaching staff, and the entire Medeama organization.

 

Medeama SC had a tremendous campaign in the Ghana Premier League winning 18 games, drawing six and tasting 10 defeats.

 

The Tarkwa-based side will take home GH₵300,000 as prize money.

The last time a club from the west won the league was in 1977, when Sekondi Hasaacas claimed their inaugural title. Since then, the region has struggled to produce a champion.

 

Sekondi Eleven Wise became the first club to win the region’s first trophy in 1960 before Sekondi Hasaacas winning the last trophy for the region in 1977.
Sadly, the two Sekondi based clubs are currently playing in the third-tier league of Ghana Football after suffering relegation few years ago.

 

 

The fans and the community of Tarkwa have rallied behind their beloved team throughout the season, and the title win has sparked widespread jubilation and pride.

 

 

 

 

 

The league has seen several clubs rise to prominence, with a few dominant teams emerging as the most successful in the competition’s 67-year history. Here is a list of the clubs with the most championships:

Asante Kotoko – 24 titles
Hearts of Oak – 21 titles
AshantiGold – 4 titles
Aduana Stars – 2 titles
Great Olympics – 2 titles
Medeama – 1 title (newly crowned champions)
Berekum Chelsea – 1 title
Ebusua Dwarfs – 1 title
Real Republicans – 1 title
Sekondi Hasaacas – 1 title
Eleven Wise – 1 title
WA All Stars (now Legon Cities) – 1 title
