The Speaker of Parliament, Alban Kingsford Sumana Bagbin, has pledged to support Medeama Sporting Club ahead of their participation in next year's CAF Champions League.
The Mauves and Yellows have an opportunity to compete at the continent's top club competition following their triumph in the just-ended Ghana Premier League season.

The team visited Parliament on Wednesday, June 21, as part of their celebrations and were received by the Speaker, who pledged an amount of GH₵100,000 to the league champions.
"So Medeama SC, I want to assure you that the house is with you and I will proceed to pledge which you can take up from me anytime an amount of GH₵100, 000 now to support you.
"This is the time to enjoy, refresh, motivate and incentivise yourself ahead for the task ahead, we are with you. Congratulations,” Bagbin stated.
The Speaker also stressed that Parliament would provide unrelenting support to guarantee that Medeama SC wins the Champions League on behalf of the country.
"I want to on your behalf commit the house to go with them all the way to the continent to ensure that they win the African Cup for Ghana," he added.
"This I will proceed to enforce to ensure that they get the necessary resources and motivation to surprise the continent by winning the cup."
