Medeama SC head coach Ibrahim Tanko has dismissed claims that the club’s 2025/26 Ghana Premier League title success was achieved by luck, insisting the triumph was the result of hard work and commitment throughout the season.
The Yellow and Mauve outfit were crowned champions of the Ghana Premier League and are set to officially celebrate the achievement at the TNA Park on Wednesday, May 28.
Speaking to Graphic Sports, Tanko said Medeama fully deserved the title after the enormous effort and investment made during the campaign.
“It’s a good feeling to win the league, but I don’t think it was a fluke. We worked very hard for it,” the former Black Stars assistant coach said.
Tanko praised the club’s hierarchy, technical staff and players for their collective role in securing the title, describing the achievement as a team effort.
He also highlighted the club’s success in producing four national team players during the season, saying it reflected the quality and dedication within the squad.
Despite several standout performances during the campaign, Tanko declined to identify any individual as his favourite player, maintaining that the league triumph was built on teamwork.
According to the Medeama coach, key victories over Bibiani Gold Stars and Basake Holy Stars convinced him that the title was within reach.
“I think the day we beat Bibiani Gold Stars and the game against Basake Holy Stars, after that game, I was 90 to 95 per cent sure that we were going to win the league,” he stated.
Tanko further described Medeama’s strong finish against Heart of Lions with one game remaining as another important moment in their successful campaign.
Following their league triumph, Medeama will now represent Ghana in the 2026/27 CAF Champions League.
