GFA Prez Assures Fans Of A New League Sponsor
The Ghana football association president, Kwesi Nyantakyi, has asked Ghanaian football loving fans and enthusiast of the domestic league that a new headline sponsor for the league will be unveiled soon.
The 2014/15 season was headlined by First capital plus now Capital bank, a solely owned Ghanaian company. On November, 2015, the bank announced its decision to temporarily terminate the contract.
footballcrusader.com understands, First capital plus bank’s initially statement claiming they are halting the contract because of re-branding was just a shield to many issues they had in relation to how the league is branded, low stadium attendance and inconsistencies with when games are to played.
The bank signed a five-year deal with GFA in January 2014, worth $10 million in total and $2 million annually, to replace telecommunication giant Globacom (Glo).
Kwesi Nyantakyi in an interview with Storm FM said, “Ghana Premier League is without a title sponsor but the GFA is still in a search for one. We are very optimistic that before the league kicks off, we would surely get a new headline sponsor to provide sponsorship package for it,” he added.
The date to commence the 2015/16 season is still unknown due to legal tussle with regards to the cases involving Techiman City and Wa African United as well as Tema Youth FC and Dreams FC.
