Medeama SC have been crowned champions of Ghana after a successful 2022/23 season.

The Tarkwa-based club ended the campaign top of the league with 60 points to win their first-ever Ghana Premier League title.

The Mauve and Yellow needed at least a point in their last game of the season to be champions, and did that in emphatic style, thumping Tamale City at home.

A first-half strike from Joshua Agyeman and a second-half brace from Jonathan Sowah ensured the former FA Cup winners wrapped up the league title in phenomenal fashion, as reported by Kickgh.

Medeama SC will now represent Ghana in next season's CAF Champions League, while the winner of the FA Cup between King Faisal and Dreams FC will participate in the CAF Confederation Cup.

Bibiani Gold Stars striker, Abednego Tetteh finished the season as top scorer with 18 goals, as reported by Pulse.

Meanwhile Kotoku Royals, King Faisal, and Tamale City have all been relegated after a disappointing campaign.

The league will see Hearts of Lions, Nations FC, and Tano Bofoakwa all back in the domestic topflight.

Hearts win President Cup

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Accra Hearts of Oak have been crowned the President Cup champions after defeating rivals Kumasi Asante Kotoko.

Konadu Yiadom's second-half header ensured the Phobians also picked up all three points from the game, which also doubled as a league match.

With President, Nana Akufo-Addo in attendance, the two giants of Ghanaian football delivered a spectacle for fans at the Accra Sports Stadium.

Gyan explains GPL return

Legendary Ghanaian footballer, Asamoah Gyan has disclosed that his decision to play in the domestic topflight league was backed by his quest to make an impact in his home country.

Injuries plagued Gyan's brief spell at Ghana Premier League side Legon Cities and he has not played competitively since leaving the club in 2021.

Yet to officially hang up his boots, Gyan is hoping to have a last dance with a club in the league before calling it quits.
