H.E Akufo-Addo supports Medeama’s CAF Champions League campaign with GH¢1m

On August 2, 2023, President Nana Akufo-Addo pledged GH¢1 million to support Medeama SC in their 2023/2024 CAF Champions League campaign during the league trophy presentation at the Jubilee House.

The President made the announcement in the presence of a delegation led by George Mireku Duker, Deputy Minister for Mines and Natural Resources, and Member of Parliament for Takwa.

The delegation included chiefs from the Apinto Traditional Council, Dr. Tony Aubynn, the club’s Board Chairman, Head Coach Evans Augustine Adotey, other management and technical team members, as well as the players.

Medeama SC will compete against Nigeria’s Remo Stars in the Champions League preliminary round on August 20 at the Cape Coast Stadium, with the return leg scheduled for August 27.

President Akufo-Addo congratulated Medeama for their outstanding performance in winning the Ghana Premier League and their first-ever league trophy, ending the Western Region’s 47-year wait for a league title since Sekondi Hasaacas’ victory in 1977.

The President expressed his support for the club and wished them success in their continental engagements for the year. He also mentioned that he would try his best to be present at the match in Cape Coast and provide assistance in their CAF campaign.

“Congratulations to you, the captain, and the members of the team for this historic achievement. It’s been 47 years since a team from the Western Region won the cup. This is great. You’ve done a great job. Congratulations”

“I will try to provide a million Ghana Cedis to help you in the CAF campaign. The deputy minister insists that if I’m in Ghana on the 20th, I should come to Cape Coast. I’ll see. We’ll do our best to assist in your continental engagements this year, to ensure you have a successful tilt,” said President Akufo-Addo.
