Medeama SC owner Moses Armah Parker has reaffirmed his ambition to lead the Tarkwa-based club to CAF glory, describing the team’s long-standing pursuit of the CAF Champions League title as a dream that is steadily coming to fruition ahead of a defining preliminary-round assignment against TP Mazembe.
Speaking as excitement builds around the club’s campaign, Parker said his optimism has remained unwavering despite the club not yet having lifted the trophy he has publicly targeted for several years.In the beginning, that was my wish, and it’s coming true. I’ve not been there yet until I hold the CAF Champions League in Tarkwa.
“I’m not there yet, but from the past years, that was my wish, and I said it, everybody heard it, and it’s coming to pass. That’s how God does things. It’s coming. You can it see for yourself.”
Parker’s comments come as Medeama, the reigning Ghana Premier League champions, prepare to host five-time African champions TP Mazembe of DR Congo in the first leg of their 2026/27 CAF Champions League preliminary-round tie at the TnA Stadium in Tarkwa this weekend.
The Tarkwa base side will travel to Lubumbashi for the return leg the following week, with the aggregate winner advancing to a second preliminary round against either Tunisia’s Club Africain or Mali’s Djoliba AC.
The draw, held at CAF headquarters in Cairo, handed Medeama one of the toughest possible tests in the competition’s early stages. Mazembe, five-time winners of the CAF Champions League and a regular presence on the African stage, are expected to provide a stern examination of a Medeama side that enters the tie on the back of a Champion of Champions triumph over Nations FC.
Medeama will be looking to use home advantage in Tarkwa to build a cushion before travelling to Lubumbashi, a venue where Mazembe have historically been difficult to beat.
