Medeama SC: The Tarkwa Football Club, Honours and History

Medeama SC are a Ghana Premier League football club, or soccer club for South African readers, from Tarkwa in the Western Region, crowned champions of Ghana in 2022/23 and again in 2025/26. Their nickname is the Mauve and Yellow. Their honours and development from Kessben FC give readers in Lagos, Nairobi, Johannesburg and Kampala a route into the Tarkwa club's story.

The club in its present form dates from January 2011, when the renamed Medeama Sporting Club took over from Kessben FC; the club won league titles in 2022/23 and 2025/26, FA Cups in 2013 and 2015, and Super Cups in 2015, 2023 and 2026. Their CAF Champions League group stage appearance in 2023/24 added a continental milestone to that domestic history.

Who Are Medeama SC, the Mauve and Yellow?

Medeama SC are a professional club based in Tarkwa in Ghana's Western Region, and they compete in the Ghana Premier League, the GPL. The club in its current form began in 2010, when Medeama bought Kessben FC, and the rename to Medeama Sporting Club followed in January 2011. The 2010 purchase and the 2011 rename are the firm historical markers.

Those dates help separate the club's ownership story from its sporting milestones. Read the honours chronologically: the FA Cup successes of 2013 and 2015 preceded the league championship of 2022/23. That sequence gives Tarkwa's place in Ghanaian football a clearer shape than a list of trophies alone.

Where Is the Latest Medeama News and Squad Talk?

For Medeama updates, use the dated news entries alongside the results and player records. Check the date attached to a signing, call up or coaching appointment before relating it to a particular season. The squad module identifies the players listed with the club, while the historical sections explain the honours those changing squads have contributed to.

When following a Ghanaian player's development, distinguish a club appearance from an international selection. A national team call up and an appearance describe different milestones. Match records provide the useful next step: they show whether the player started, entered as a substitute or remained among the available replacements.

Use the Medeama fixtures list to find domestic and continental matches, then read the kick off entry for your location.

In Medeama's league table (log), compare matches played as well as points when assessing the standings. Consult the viewing information attached to the selected fixture for availability in your country.

How Is the Medeama Squad Set Out?

Medeama's squad module groups players by position and identifies the head coach, with confirmed arrivals and departures reflected in the listings. The coaching line has included Hans van der Pluijm, in charge from 2013 to 2015, and Samuel Boadu, who led the side from 2018 to 2021. To explore the Ghanaian players in the squad, compare their positions and player records, using dated entries to distinguish different seasons.

Position labels offer a starting point for understanding selection. Read them alongside the team sheet: a defender's listed role does not by itself explain where that player operated in a particular match. For Medeama's Ghanaian prospects, starts and substitute appearances provide different kinds of evidence about their involvement.

What Have Medeama Won?

Tarkwa celebrated Medeama's GPL championships of 2022/23 and 2025/26, adding to FA Cup victories dated 2013 and 2015 and Super Cup successes from 2015, 2023 and 2026. The cups came first, during the Hans van der Pluijm years, and they gave a young club something real to build on well before a league title looked within reach. The first championship, in 2022/23, earned Medeama a place on the continental stage.

The second title, in 2025/26, was clinched with a 5-2 win over Heart of Lions at the Tarkwa and Aboso Stadium, a result that opened an unassailable five point gap with one game left. The formal coronation followed after a 2-1 win over Basake Holy Stars at the same ground, and the crown brought automatic qualification for the 2026/27 CAF Champions League. It arrived a year after Bibiani Gold Stars took the 2024/25 title.

From Kessben to Champions: The History in Brief

The history starts with a purchase rather than a founding, when Medeama bought Kessben FC in 2010 and gave it a new name in January 2011. The early years were about cups, and the FA Cup wins of 2013 and 2015 under Hans van der Pluijm put Tarkwa on the national map. Samuel Boadu's spell from 2018 to 2021 belongs to the same steady climb, a period in which the club kept itself among the GPL's competitive sides. By the time the first league title came in 2022/23, Medeama had spent more than a decade turning a renamed club into a settled one.

The continental chapter followed quickly. Medeama reached the 2023/24 CAF Champions League group stage by beating Horoya of Guinea 4-3 on aggregate, winning the first leg 3-1 and losing the return in Conakry 2-1, and they became the first Ghanaian club to reach that stage since Berekum Chelsea in 2012. An eleven year gap closed by a club from Tarkwa is, in my opinion, the most quotable statistic in the club's story. Home matches moved to the T&A Stadium in Tarkwa, commissioned in August 2024 with room for about 10,000 people, also known locally as TnA Park or the Tarkwa and Aboso Stadium.

Why Do Fans Across Africa Follow Medeama?

Medeama's honours connect Tarkwa with the wider story of Ghanaian football. Their league championships in 2022/23 and 2025/26 sit alongside FA Cup victories in 2013 and 2015, giving readers across Africa a dated record of the club's domestic achievements.

Medeama's meeting with Horoya in 2023 also offers a connection between Ghanaian and Guinean club football. Reading both legs together explains the achievement: the aggregate score records the whole tie, while each individual result describes only one part of it. That distinction matters when tracing an African club's continental journey.

Medeama supporters coordinating across borders can pair a 15:00 GMT kick off in Tarkwa with 18:00 EAT in Kenya and Uganda, 16:00 WAT in Nigeria and 17:00 SAST in South Africa. The fixture's competition label separates a domestic league appointment from a CAF encounter, while its viewing details identify availability for each audience.

Which Medeama Games Matter Most, and What Time Do They Kick Off?

The 2025/26 title earned Medeama qualification for the 2026/27 CAF Champions League. Domestic fixtures also include league meetings with Asante Kotoko, Hearts of Oak and Bibiani Gold Stars. Medeama's Super Cup honours are dated 2015, 2023 and 2026.

For those Ghanaian meetings, compare the venue and competition before drawing conclusions from previous results. A league meeting and a cup tie answer different questions: one contributes to a season's standings, while the other determines progress towards a trophy. Dated head to head entries let readers follow that distinction without treating every meeting as equivalent.

Build a Medeama viewing schedule around the confirmed fixture time. For a 15:00 GMT start in Tarkwa, Lagos clocks read 16:00 WAT, Johannesburg clocks read 17:00 SAST, and viewers in Nairobi or Kampala use 18:00 EAT. For continental away trips, establish which time zone the original listing uses before converting it, then check for any confirmed scheduling change.
