Vice chairman of the Ghana League Clubs Association, Isaac Koomson has asked the Ghana Premier League Clubs what they are doing to ensure they are well branded to attract corporate companies to sponsor them.
The Ghana Premier League will commence on February 20 without a headline sponsor after First Capital Plus Bank reneged from their commitment with the FA signed about 2 years ago.
Premier League clubs are complaining the financial difficulties they encounter on weekly basis will be compounded should the FA not provide a sponsor to abridge the financial burden.
But Isaac Koomson who is rumoured to be interested in vying for the GHALCA chairmanship position with his boss Alhaji Raji, has asked the clubs the efforts they are making to give themselves alternative should the FA not land any deal for the league soon.
“Super Sport is on board as the headline sponsor for the coverage of the league, but we appreciate the fact that the FA should provide a headline sponsor,” Isaac Koomson told sportscrusader.com
“But apart from the FA getting a corporate body to sponsor the league, the question I always ask my colleagues is that,’what are they doing as an alternative to raise funds?’
“What image has the clubs created to attract sponsors? Churches brand themselves with their logos on bands, bands, handkerchiefs, and make money out it and make money whilst also spreading their name to the public.
‘Can’t the clubs do same to make money and to be self sufficient whilst also making themselves popular? These are things we can do and we must take advantage of that.” He noted.
The Ghana Premier League will start on February 20 and the FA according to Mr. Koomson is close to securing a sponsor.
