Medeama Sporting Club paid a community engagement visit to the Goldfields Schools complex JHS in line with the clubs itinerary for its 2024 Corporate and Community engagement drive.

Friday, September 20, 2024 marked the 2024 Corporate and Community Engagement Day for Tarkwa based club, Medeama Sporting Club and the club’s delegation made a stopover to the Goldfields Schools Complex, a core of the club young fans, most of whom are residents of Akoon Community where the club hosted its home matches in the Ghana Premier League and FA Cups until the completion of the refurbished 10400 seater Tarkwa and Aboso Stadium this season.

The likes of Nurudeen Abdulai, Fatawu Sulemana, Kofi Asmah, Kamaradini, Derrick Fordjour, Felix Kyei, Appiah Kubi and other old players who played regularly at the Akoon Community Park were mobbed by the kids with loud shouts and applause which interrupted academics as soon as the club’s entourage got to the school’s premises.

The Headmaster of the Junior High School received the team in front of the students who were not part of an excursion embarked on by a section of the students.

“Every misfortune they say is a blessing and those of you who could not join the excursion to Takoradi today are blessed to have Medeama Sporting Club players, Coaches and Management visiting as. I am sure if majority of those going to Takoradi would have wished to swap the trip to meet the stars, you have been watching from afar. They are here today and we wish their visit motivates us ahead of our interschools sports competition which is few days away”, the Headmaster said in his welcome address.

The Brands and Marketing Officer, Kofi Aidoo shared with the students the brain behind the visit, while advising them to focus on their studies. He also assured them of the technical team’s presence during the sports competition and the club’s willingness to scout and select talented footballers, citing that “We have about six key players who are natives of the Wassa Fiase enclave and any player who stands out will be drafted into our junior team to be nurtured for the senior team in future. The Technical Team will come and watch the games to select some of you into our feeder team”

Technical Director, Augustine Adotey and Coach Kapor all took their turn to advise the players on the purpose of being in school and growing to become responsible adults with the love of Medeama shared abroad in their hearts, especially the free entry offered them on all Medeama’s home games in the company of their guardians.

Captain of Medeama Sporting Club who is also a native of Amoanda within the club’s catchment area thanked the student for the rousing welcome and also assured them of quality football and victories as they come to the stadium to watch them.

Jersey and football presentation by the club’s Administrative Manager, McDavid Asare on behalf of the team was presented to the Headmaster and was followed by interactions and photo sections.
