Head coach of Medeama Sporting Club, Ibrahim Tanko has given up on the chase for the 2024/25 Ghana Premier League title with two games to draw the curtains down the campaign.

The Yellow and Mauve currently sit sixth in the 2024/25 league table with 50 points, ten behind leaders Nations FC missing out on the chance of winning the title at the end of the campaign.

Speaking to Medi TV ahead of Medeama’s clash against Asante Kotoko on Sunday May 25, Ibrahim Tanko said his team is now targeting the 2025/26 league title.

"The target is to have a very good game in Kumasi. I think this is the first game that is going to be live since I took over, and it's motivation enough for the players to give their best. So, we are going to Kumasi to take a point or the three points,” Coach Ibrahim Tanko said.

“The performance of the team has increased since I took over. It’s important for me to plan for next season. In the two games remaining, we are going to give our best to win so that we will plan well for next season. The league title race is over for us. Definitely after this weekend, we will see who will take the league,” Coach Tanko said.

The Week 33 encounter between Asante Kotoko and Medeama SC is scheduled to kick off at 3 pm at Baba Yara Sports Stadium on Sunday, June 1.
