Medeama SC’s 2026/27 CAF Champions League campaign ended on Saturday, 12 September 2026, after a 3-1 loss to TP Mazembe in the second leg of their preliminary-round tie in Lubumbashi.

The Ghana Premier League champions travelled to the Democratic Republic of Congo needing to overturn a 1-0 first-leg deficit from the previous weekend at the TnA Stadium in Tarkwa. In that match, a late goal by substitute Lise Ntumba Nyembo in the 87th minute gave the Congolese side a slender but crucial advantage.

Patrick Mwanungulu opened the scoring in the 16th minute, and Kazema Baso doubled the lead eight minutes later. Mwanungulu added a second goal in the 78th minute to put the result beyond doubt. Dominic Amponsah scored a late consolation for Medeama in the 87th minute, but it was not enough.

The 3-1 result completed a 4-1 aggregate victory for the five-time African champions, who advance to the next preliminary round against Zambia’s Red Arrows FC.

Medeama now turns their attention to defending their Ghana Premier League title.

GoldStars will play in the CAF Champions League for the first time this weekend as they host Algerian giants JS Kabyile to the Accra Sports Stadium on Saturday, September 20, 2025, at 3:00 PM GMT.

The Ghanaian side were crowned champions in a little of 3 years after they gained promotion to the league. In a league that boasts of Heats of Oak, Kotoko, Medeama SC, and others, the western region based club did what many didn’t anticipate by winning the Ghana Premier League 2024/25 season.

Frimpong Manso in recent media interviews, has appealed to Ghanaians to come cheer the team on like they did with the BlackStars a fortnight ago.

He hopes to rely on his squad, which is blessed with many talents. Vincent Atinga is one of the experienced heads who will lead the team from the dugout on Saturday. A lot will be expected from him.

The Algerian club, JS Kabylie, is not new to Africa’s elite competition. They have won the CAF Champions League twice, in 1981 and 1990, so that gives them massive confidence coming into the tie for the weekend.

They will hope their domestic form of two points from nine in three games at the 14th spot won’t hamper their conquest against GoldStars.

The match officials for the game, Georges Gatogato of Burundi, will serve as centre referee, assisted by compatriots Emery Niyongabo (Assistant Referee I) and Olivier Nibogora (Assistant Referee II). Bertrand Manirakiza, also from Burundi, has been appointed as the fourth official.

Additionally, Alhaji Babagana Kalli Kalli of Nigeria will act as Match Commissioner for the fixture.

The game is set for 3:00 PM GMT at the Accra Sports Stadium this Saturday.
