Sports Marketing comments: “We are very
happy to extend our partnership with the Ghana Football Association."

ten years of partnership we have enjoyed with the GFA have seen some great
moments – none more so than the Black Stars being a kick away from becoming the
first African team to reach a World Cup semi-final, four years ago.
"The appetite and passion for football in
Ghana is infectious, and this wonderful spirit has endeared the national team
to the World. We are proud to be
associated with them and to continue this relationship." concluded Voigt.

nature of its teams and they have delivered everything we have asked of them in
helping prepare all of the Ghana senior and youth teams to go forward and be
successful.
