During this period, lots of players (Muslims) are either given fewer match games to reduce the workload that the strain of playing football brings about or are placed on specialized regiments to help bring out their very best for the club’s overall success.

Saharafootball.net got closer to devout footballer, Zakaria Mumuni, who has religiously spoken about how he is coping in the sacred month of Ramadan and playing football.

“It’s very difficult to fast and play, you know in Ghana the weather is not favorable in these
times, we take a lot of water in order to stay hydrated for the task ahead”.

“See, playing football and fasting is physically exhausting but we try our best for the fans to
happy at the end of the day. We are here to make them happy, that’s our job”. he ended.

The spiritual exercise of Ramadan started from April 13th – 13th May 2021.

Medeama SC newly-signed talented winger, Zakaria Mumuni is overly delighted with his contributions in a 2-0 victory over fellow Ghana Premier League club Dreams FC at the Tarkwa T&A Park.



The versatile winger was handed his debut last week by head coach, Yaw Preko in which they lost to then table toppers, Great Olympics at the Accra Sports Stadium but in his home debut, he made it count the most when he assisted fellow new signing, Ahmed Toure’s second goal with a sumptuous free-kick.

“For my performance, it was good, you’ll admit that I have been out of action for a while now but gradually with the games coming thick and fast I will keep improving match after match,

” I nearly scored today, but unfortunately my opponent(Suleiman) kicked me, which resulted in a red card, I am proud of today’s personal and team effort”.

Zakaria Mumuni told medeamasc.com: “This is an incredible opportunity to join a club with such an amazing project.

“I would like to thank everyone at Medeama for the massive show of love and support in this short period.

“We hope work hard as a collective unit and make our fans happy. This is another challenge for me and I look forward to another giant step in my career.

“This team has some of the best midfielders in the league and I hope to integrate quickly to make it count

“Having spoken to the coach about the vision and direction of the team, its hugely exciting and I can’t wait to be part of it.”

Zakaria Mumuni has all but sealed a move to Tarkwa based side, Medeama SC in the second round transfer of the ongoing Ghana Premier League.

The free agent, who ended his association with Congolese giants, AS Vita winger some months ago is said to have attracted lots of interest on the local scene as well as the foreign divide.

Information gathered by Saharafootball indicates that the player’s representatives have agreed on a mouth-watering deal of two years plus other enticement packages with the hierarchy of the Mauve and Yellow side.

If everything goes according to plan, the talented winger is said to be unveiled to the passionate fans of Medeama SC next week by the management.

The 23-year old was formerly linked with a move to record holders of the Ghana Premier League giants, Kumasi Asante Kotoko but that deal failed to materialize.

The 23-year-old has featured for Ghanaian clubs, WAFA, Aduana Stars prior to his big-money move to DR Congo side, AS Vita in 2019.

Zak as he’s affectionately called by his peers would be a big booster to Samuel Boadu’s side having welcomed their prolific scorer Prince Opoku Agyemang, Ahmed Toure and now the imminent arrival of Zakaria Mumuni which should boost their chances of winning the league at the third time of asking with the likes of Justice Blay, Kwesi Donsu, Nortey already in the ranks.

Ghanaian winger, Zakaria Mumuni has started intensive training in his native country, Ghana with the intention of teaming up with his colleagues at DR Congo side, AS Vita, who have already commenced their domestic league.



The versatile winger arrived in Ghana with his wife, Zenab, some four months ago when the Coronavirus was gaining ground in DR Congo leaving the top hierarchy of football no other option than to suspend the league in efforts to battle the growing pandemic.

The news of Zakaria returning to training will please head coach, Florent Ibenge, teammates as well as the fans of AS Vita, who have longed to see the trickery winger back to the field, after a long absence since the resumption of the Ligue1.

Zakaria has been a force to reckon with since leaving the shores of Ghana a year ago to DR Congo establishing himself as a mainstay in the team.

AS Vita have since played five (5) matches across all competitions, winning two (2), drawing three (3), scoring seven (7) goals, and conceding three (3) goals in the 2020-21 season.
