KGL Group renews GHS20m sponsorship deal with GFA

In a strong reaffirmation of its commitment to Ghana’s sporting excellence, KGL Group, Ghana’s leading wholly-owned indigenous conglomerate with interests in technology innovation, fintech, logistics, trade, property development, gaming, and commerce, has signed a landmark two-year sponsorship agreement worth GHS 20 million with the Ghana Football Association (GFA) to support the Black Stars.

This renewed partnership reflects the positive impact of continuous calls by national leadership, particularly the Minister of Sports and Recreation, Hon. Kofi Adams, for greater corporate involvement in advancing sports development.

It also answers the rallying call from the President of the Republic, H.E. John Dramani Mahama, urging corporate Ghana to “bring back the love” for the Black Stars and rekindle national unity and pride through sports.

At the official signing ceremony, the Executive Chairman of KGL Group, Mr. Alex Apau Dadey, emphasized that the sponsorship is more than just a corporate responsibility effort; it is a response to a national call to action.

“At KGL Group, we believe that sports is a fundamental force for national transformation — inspiring discipline, resilience, unity, and community pride,” Mr. Dadey stated.

“We are proud to contribute to Ghana’s sporting journey and to be part of the broader national movement to restore pride and belief in the Black Stars.”

Mr. Dadey expressed deep gratitude to key figures whose leadership made the partnership possible.

“We are especially grateful to the Honorable Minister of Sports and Recreation, Hon. Kofi Iddie Adams, for spearheading conversations and negotiations between the KGL Group and GFA to come to this partnership agreement.”

He also paid special tribute to President Mahama’s enduring vision: “We are deeply grateful to President John Dramani Mahama, whose legacy of prioritizing sports development reminds us of the critical role that investment and collaboration play in building national pride and nurturing future champions,” Mr. Dadey added.

Beyond support for the national team, KGL Group continues to invest in grassroots sports development. Through the KGL Foundation, it sponsors the Inter-Regional U-17 Colts Championship, fostering young football talent and creating a strong pipeline for future national teams.

“We are thrilled to see corporate giants like KGL Group continue to invest in Ghana’s sports development. This sponsorship is a testament to the power of Ghanaian ingenuity to foster change. KGL Group’s continuous investment in our national team and sports development is deeply commendable.”

Kurt Okraku, President of the GFA, also expressed his appreciation: “KGL’s unwavering commitment to the Black Stars is proof that, together, we can elevate Ghanaian football to greater heights. We are grateful for this partnership and look forward to achieving great success together.”

As KGL Group embarks on this renewed chapter with the Black Stars, it does so with pride, deep-rooted values, and a clear vision to propel Ghanaian sports onto the global stage.

The renewal of this noble partnership between KGL Group and the GFA was made possible through the sustained efforts of Hon. Kofi Iddie Adams and the government of President John Mahama.
