Telecommunications Network, Vodafone Ghana has rubbished media reports that they are in negotiations with the Ghana Football Association and Premier League Board to sponsor the domestic league.
First Capital Plus Bank now Capital Bank, signed a five a year deal with the football governing body as headlines sponsors of the league, but reneged their commitment with the FA with claims of restructuring.
The FA has since been on the lookout for a potential corporate body to accept the sponsorship responsibilities, and media reports were riff that Vodafone are in negotiations with the FA to either replace or partner Capital Bank (the FA pleading with the financial institution to rescind their decision to suspend sponsorship responsibilities).
But the Telecommunications giants has denied the company has held negotiations with the FA and has taken the decision to sponsor the Ghana Premier League which started last weekend.
“There has not been any decision whatsoever to get involved in the Ghana Premier League as we speak. Vodafone has not taken any decision; if we had, we would have communicated it to the public a long time ago,” Corporate Affairs Manager, Ebenezer Amankwah said in an interview with Accra based radio station, Class FM.
“Vodafone has not had any contact with the Ghana Football Association and the media the stories online are unfounded,” he said.
Mr Amankwah stressed that Vodafone had not even considered sponsoring the league.
“There is no indication that we are going to sponsor the Premier League or even considering it. He who is alleging has to prove,” he added.
