Medeama crowned 2025-26 GPL champions, seal CAF Champions League spot

Medeama SC has secured the 2025-26 Ghana Premier League title and booked their place in next season’s CAF Champions League following a commanding 5-2 victory over Heart of Lions at the TnA Stadium on Sunday.

The Tarkwa-based side sealed the championship with one match to spare after the closest challengers, Bibiani Gold Stars, lost to Dreams FC earlier in the day.

Knowing victory would confirm them as champions if Gold Stars dropped points, Medeama delivered a ruthless performance despite heavy rainfall delaying kickoff at the TnA Stadium.
