Medeama SC head coach, Ibrahim Tanko, has expressed his excitement over the return of the Ghana Premier League and is determined to secure a win against Bechem United.
The Yellow and Mauve will host Bechem United at TNA Park on Sunday in a Matchday 23 fixture, with kickoff set for 15:00 GMT.
Speaking ahead of the game, the former Accra Lions coach acknowledged the unfortunate events that led to the league’s suspension but emphasized his team’s readiness.
“It is very unfortunate [regarding] what happened,” Tanko told the club’s media.
“We are happy football is coming back that every week, we [will] play football in Ghana.
“When you look at this week, the way the boys trained and worked, definitely, I am hopeful that we will make them [fans] happy this weekend.
“We almost have everyone on board. The training was very good and definitely, we are going to have a strong squad against Bechem. We are very ready,” he added.
The league had been on hold since February 2 following the tragic killing of Francis Frimpong Pooley during a Week 19 clash between Asante Kotoko and Nsoatreman.
The late Kotoko supporter was laid to rest on Thursday, March 6, at Heroes Park, Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi.
Meanwhile, the Ghana Football Association (GFA) has introduced stricter safety and security measures to prevent hooliganism at match venues.
These include appointing club safety and security officers and installing CCTV cameras at stadiums.
