Medeama's early season boost as they claim Champion of Champions

Medeama SC opened the 2026/27 season with a 2‑0 victory over Nations FC at TNA Stadium, clinching the Champion of Champions trophy. Defender Fatawu Sulemana converted a penalty before winger Emmanuel Annor added a second after the break, giving the Ghana Premier League champions a winning start.

Confident start and early penalty

Medeama began the match brimming with confidence, establishing control in the opening stages. Their pressure soon paid off when Sulemana stepped up to spot‑kick and calmly slotted the penalty, putting the Mauve and Yellow in front.

The first half continued with Nations FC struggling to find a response, and the Ghanaian side maintained their dominance as the half‑time whistle approached.

Continental focus after the triumph

In the second half, Annor, playing against his former club, lifted a precise lob over the goalkeeper to double the lead. The goal cemented the 2‑0 scoreline and secured the trophy for Medeama.

The final whistle confirmed Medeama’s first piece of silverware of the campaign, a symbolic curtain‑raiser that traditionally pits the Ghana Premier League winners against the MTN FA Cup holders.

Looking ahead, the champions will turn their attention to the CAF Champions League, hosting DR Congo giants TP Mazembe at TNA Stadium on Sunday, 6 September 2026, in the preliminary round.

Nations FC also have continental business, travelling to Bamako to face FC Diarra in the CAF Confederation Cup on Saturday, 5 September 2026, at Stade Mamadou Konaté.

Both clubs now carry momentum into the opening weekend of the Ghana Premier League, scheduled for 4‑7 September, as they aim to build on the statements made in this Champion of Champions encounter.
