According to the GFA, if government gives more tax incentives to companies that sponsor sports in Ghana, it would encourage more companies to channel part of their resources into sports development in the country.

The Chairman of the Marketing and Sponsorship Committee of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Mr Frank Nelson Nwokolo made the appeal when he led the Marketing and Sponsorship Committee of the GFA to pay a courtesy call on staff of Graphic Sports at the head office of the Graphic Communications Group Limited in Accra on Thursday.

The delegation included Mr Delali Eric Senaya, Vice Chairman of the Committee; Black Stars Coach, Mr Akwasi Appiah; and Former Black Stars Captain, Stephen Appiah as well as some members of the committee such as Ms Gifty Juan Addy and Mr Derrick Zaki.

According to Mr Nwokolo, because companies that sponsor sports in the country received very minimal packages from the GFA, many companies were unwilling to sponsor sporting activities by the GFA.

He said GFA has been struggling to get sponsorships for its activities, adding that lack of sponsorship could negatively affect the operations of the GFA.

Touching on the visit, he said, the visit was to afford the committee the opportunity to establish a cordial relationship with the media.
