Award-winning Afrobeats star King Promise will perform live at the TNA Stadium in Tarkwa when the club hosts Congolese giants TP Mazembe in the first leg of the 2026/27 CAF Champions League preliminary round. The highly anticipated fixture is scheduled for Sunday, September 6, 2026, at 3pm.
Ticket prices for the September 6 encounter have been set at GHS 100 for general admission categories, GHS 150 for another stand, and GHS 500 for the premium section. The club has also opened media accreditation for journalists and broadcasters covering the fixture, with applications required by the end of August.
King Promise’s involvement adds a major entertainment dimension to the afternoon. The Accra-born artist, whose real name is Gregory Bortey Newman, has established himself as one of Ghana’s leading contemporary voices in Afrobeats and highlife.
He rose to prominence with early hits such as “Oh Yeah” and later expanded his reach through collaborations and albums including As Promised, 5 Stars and True to Self. Tracks like “Terminator” achieved significant international streaming success and viral popularity, helping him build a substantial following across Africa and beyond.
The decision to feature a high-profile musician continues a recent pattern at Medeama. The club previously hosted performances by artists such as Medikal and DopeNation during key domestic matches and title celebrations, using music to heighten the matchday experience and draw larger crowds to the TNA Stadium.
For Medeama supporters, the combination of Champions League football and a live set from King Promise offers a rare double attraction. Tarkwa is expected to host a vibrant atmosphere as fans gather to back their champions against one of Africa’s most decorated clubs.
The TNA Stadium, also known as the Tarkwa and Aboso Stadium, has become a fortress for Medeama in recent seasons and will provide a passionate home advantage in the first leg.
TP Mazembe arrive with a formidable pedigree. The Lubumbashi club has dominated African football for periods of the past two decades, claiming multiple continental titles and consistently reaching the later stages of the Champions League. Facing them so early in the competition presents a stern test of Medeama’s quality and preparation.
Club officials have expressed confidence despite the challenging draw. Communications director Benjamin Wille Graham noted that the team is focused on thorough preparation rather than being overawed by the opponent’s reputation.
Coach Tanko has similarly emphasised a competitive mindset, framing the Champions League campaign as an opportunity rather than a mere obligation.
Performance Expectations
King Promise’s performance is expected to take place as part of the pre-match or matchday entertainment package, though exact timing has not yet been detailed. Fans of the musician will have the chance to enjoy his catalogue of hits in a stadium setting while also witnessing high-stakes continental football.
As September 6 approaches, anticipation continues to build in Tarkwa and across Ghana. The fixture represents an early highlight of the new African club season and an opportunity for Medeama to make a strong statement on the continental stage. With King Promise set to light up the stadium and the champions preparing to face a storied opponent, the TNA Stadium is poised for a memorable afternoon of sport and entertainment.
Supporters are encouraged to secure tickets early, while media organisations have been invited to apply for accreditation through the club’s communications channels. The blend of Ghanaian league success, African club competition and popular music underscores the growing ambition of Medeama SC as they step onto the continental stage as national champions.
