President John Dramani Mahama has presented financial support to three clubs that represented Ghana in continental competitions.

Medeama Sporting Club received $30,000, Nations FC was handed $20,000, while Ampem Darkoa received $10,000 during a courtesy call at the Jubilee House in Accra on Tuesday, September 8, 2026.

Medeama, who won the 2025/26 Ghana Premier League title, received the biggest amount as they prepare for their CAF Champions League campaign.

The Tarkwa-based side is scheduled to travel to Lubumbashi in the Democratic Republic of Congo for a second-leg encounter against TP Mazembe, with the support expected to provide a financial and morale boost ahead of the difficult assignment.



Nations FC, meanwhile, received $20,000 as they continue their CAF Confederation Cup campaign. The club suffered defeat in the away leg and will now look to overturn the deficit when they host the return fixture in Accra.

Ampem Darkoa were presented with $10,000 following their participation in the WAFU Zone B qualifiers for the CAF Women’s Champions League.
