The Ghana Football Association (GFA) is on the verge of unveiling a new headline sponsor for the Ghana Premier League (GPL), following months of behind-the-scenes negotiations aimed at securing a long-term commercial partner.
The GFA President, Kurt Simeon-Okraku, revealed the upcoming announcement during the official launch of the KGL U-20 football competition. According to him, the new partnership would provide vital financial support to clubs and significantly enhance the commercial value of the country’s top-tier league.
“We’ve been working tirelessly to secure a new sponsorship agreement that will bring financial stability and reposition the Ghana Premier League,” President Okraku stated. “Very soon, we will announce a new headline sponsor that will bring the needed support to our clubs.”
The development comes after the abrupt termination of the GFA’s previous deal with betPawa, which left a financial vacuum in the league. With just three matches remaining in the 2024/25 season, the announcement is expected to bring renewed optimism among stakeholders in Ghanaian football.
The incoming sponsor is expected to play a pivotal role in the long-term development of the league, providing crucial funding to improve infrastructure, player welfare, and the overall branding of the GPL.
The GFA is confident that the partnership will not only restore trust among clubs, players and fans but also attract greater commercial interest in the domestic game.
The identity of the new sponsor has not yet been disclosed, but the official announcement is expected in the coming days.
