Medeama SC sealed the 2025/26 Ghana Premier League title in emphatic fashion after thrashing Heart of Lions 5-2 in a thrilling match at a packed Tarkwa and Aboso Stadium on Sunday.
Backed by a jubilant home crowd, the Mauve and Yellow produced a five-star performance to clinch their second league title with a game to spare, capping an impressive campaign in style.

The triumph moves Medeama five points clear at the summit and returns the Premier League trophy to Tarkwa for the first time in three years.
