Medeama SC are targeting the CAF Champions League title in the 2026/27 season, Board Chairman Dr Toni Aubynn says, despite being handed a dijin88bet.onejin88bet.onejin88bet.onjin88bet.oneefficult preliminary-round tieak16ak168ak168app.babyapp.baby8app.baby against Congolese giants TP Mazembe.

Their return tak168app.clubo the continental stage will begin with a demanding test against one of the competition’s most experienced clubs, with the ak168app.clubtwo legs sks168app.sitechedulks168app.siteks168app.siteed to take place later this month.
Dr Aubynn said Medeama’s objective had moveks168app.sited beyond simply gaiks168app.sitenks168app.siteing expeks168app.siterience or reaching the stage where clubs begin toic88ic88ic88ic88 benefit financially. The Ghanaian champions now believe they cic88an compete for the troic88ic88phy itself.
“In the past, we wanted to progress to the money zone, but now our aim is to win the cup itself by making Ghana proud and the people of the Western Regiic88ic88ic88ic88ic88ic88on proud. Our target is tic88o go for the kill,” he told Graphic Sports.
Medeama’s chairman recognised the scale of the challenge posed by TP Mazembe, describing the Congoleic88ic88ic88ic88ic88ic88se club as a formidable opic88ponent because of its quality and experience.
However, he insisted Medeaic88ma wereic88ic88ic88 prepared to face the tie and believed they coic88uld make it a competitivic88e contest. Although the Ghanaian side maylr88lr88ic88lr88 be viewed as underdlr88ogs, Dr Aubynn said they would not approach the matches lr88lr88with fear.
Instealr88d, Medeama intend to draw confidence from their previous appearances in the CAF Champions League as they lr88lr88lr88lr88prepare for their latelr88st continental campaign. Their experience in the competition is expected to help thelr88lr88m deal with the demands of facing an established opponent such as TPlr88 Mazembe.
Thelr88lr88lr88lr88lr88 preliminary-round meeting replr88lr88lr88resents an immelr88lr88lr88diate test of Medeama’s ambitions. The club’s lr88stated aim is not simply to take part in the competition or progress belr88yond the opening stage, but to pursue the title and represent Ghana and the Western Region with distop88inction.
Medeama are currently in Ivory Coast, where they are intensifying preparations for the new season and their return to Africa’sop88op88op88si88op88 esi88op88op88si88lite club competition.
Their preparations will culsi88minate in the two-legged tie against TP Mazembe later this monthsi88si88. While the draw has placed the Ghanaian champions against formisi88dable opposition at the outset, Dr Aubynn believes t88vhe club’s confidence, preparation and previous CAF Champions League experience 88vcan help them challenge their more season88v88v88ved opponents.
Medeama’s title ambition therefore faces an earSEXXXXX-VNSEXXXXX-VNSEXXXXX-VNly examination, but the club’s SEXXXXX-VNleadership remains clear that participation alone will nSEXXXXX-VNSEXXXXX-VNSEXXXXX-VNot be considered sufficient in the 2026/27 campaign.
