Current season

Medeama Sporting Club is a Ghanaian association football club based in Tarkwa, Western Region. It was formerly known as Kessben F.C. before changing its name to Medeama Sporting Club in January 2011.

History

Medeama Football Club was established in 2008 and began playing in the Ghana Division Three League. In 2010, the club failed in its initial attempt to qualify for the Ghana Premier League. This led to the purchasing of the defunct Kessben FC the same year. The licensing of the club was fully completed in December 2010, and the club was renamed Medeama Sporting Club in January 2011. The base of the Kessben club was moved from Abrankese in the Ashanti Region of Ghana to Tarkwa in the Western Region of Ghana.

Medeama have won the Ghanaian FA Cup twice, in 2013 and 2015. The 2022-23 season saw Medeama claim their first Ghana Premier League title, winning a second in the 2025-26 campaign.

Grounds

Medeama SC play their home matches at the T&A Stadium located in Tarkwa, Ghana. The stadium, commissioned in August 2024, has a seating capacity of just over 10,000.
