Ghanaian-owned telephony and computer assembly company, Rlg Communications Limited has reached an agreement to sponsor the live telecast of the upcoming 2013 Africa Cup of Nations on Ghana Television (GTV).
The tournament is scheduled to start from January 19 to February 10, 2013.
Rlg reached the deal with Ghana Broadcasting Corporation (GBC) to support the state broadcaster to telecast the games live to Ghanaians on GTV, GTV Sports Plus and other stations associated with them.
This was contained in a press statement issued to the Ghana News Agency in Accra.
Mr Prosper Harrison Addo, Head of Legal and Corporate Affairs of Rlg, said the decision to sponsor the live telecast of the Nations Cup to Ghanaians is due to the huge interest it has generated.
"Football unites us all and we at Rlg believe that anything that unites the whole nation is worth investing it. We hope the live telecast of the Nations cup would bring smiles to the homes of the millions of Ghanaians whose prayers are needed by the national team to win Africa's biggest football tournament", the statement said.
It expressed the hope that this sponsorship would once again provide a basis for the entire nation to rally around the national flag and patronize made-in-Ghana products and Ghana soccer.
