Rising Ghanaian referee Alex Amoabeng is set to take charge of one of the standout fixtures of the weekend as Asante Kotoko host Medeama SC on Sunday in the Ghana Premier League.
At just 21 years old, Amoabeng has quickly emerged as one of the league’s most promising young officials. His appointment to this high-stakes contest signals growing confidence in his abilities from the Referees Committee.
Amoabeng handled his first game of the season earlier in Week 7, overseeing Heart of Lions’ emphatic 3–0 victory over Basake Holy Stars, a performance that drew positive attention from analysts and fans. Since then, he has handled another league match, continuing to demonstrate calmness, firm decision-making and improving command of the game.
Sunday’s clash presents his biggest assignment yet, with both Kotoko and Medeama known for their intensity, tactical discipline and passionate fanbases. Matches between the two sides often come with pressure on and off the pitch, demanding composure and authority from the referee.
For Amoabeng, it marks a significant milestone in a career that appears firmly on the rise. As anticipation builds, all eyes will be on how the young official manages the tempo, tackles the tricky moments, and maintains control in a fixture where margins are often razor-thin.
The spotlight is bright, and on Sunday, Alex Amoabeng will step right into it.
