Following their end-of-season break, the Mauve and Yellows resumed training on July 14 at Akoon Park. With foundational fitness levels re-established, the squad has relocated to Koumassi—a suburb of Abidjan that successfully served as their base ahead of last season's title-winning campaign.
The team will conduct their tactical and physical sessions on the natural grass pitches of the Parc des Sports de Treichville and the Lycée Classique. A comprehensive contingent of 35 players, alongside 14 technical and management staff, made the trip as the club engineers a squad built for a grueling calendar.
A central focus of this residential camp is building chemistry and integrating Medeama’s aggressive summer transfer acquisitions. Head Coach Ibrahim Tanko, joined by new technical bench addition Coach Nana Yaw Amankwah, will be working to synchronize the fresh talent with the established core.
The Abidjan camp provides the perfect controlled environment for marquee attacking signing Emmanuel Annor—acquired from Nations FC—and highly-rated playmaker Usman Safianu to begin forging a lethal partnership in the final third.
At the back, the technical team will focus on bedding in newly signed centre-back Yaya Abdul-Rahman, while Sudanese international goalkeeper Monged Abuzaid Salman works on communicating with his new defensive line ahead of the high-stakes CAF Champions League fixtures. The midfield and forward lines will also see Black Galaxies star Etse Dogli, alongside long-term commits Emmanuel Boateng and Dominic Amponsah, fighting to cement their places in the starting XI over the next 21 days.
While the three weeks in Koumassi will demand heavy tactical and physical workloads, the emphasis on team bonding and unity is equally vital for a squad welcoming so many new faces. The reigning champions are scheduled to engage in a series of preparatory international friendly matches against local Ivorian opposition to test their match sharpness.
Once the camp concludes, Medeama will return to Ghana finalized and focused—ready to defend their domestic top-flight crown and make a resounding statement as they represent the nation on Africa's biggest club stage.
