Black Stars assistant coach John Paintsil has welcomed the new Ghana Premier League sponsorship deal, describing it as a major relief for club owners who have struggled to keep their teams afloat without financial support.
The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has confirmed a partnership with Adesa Production for the coverage of the upcoming league season.
Under the agreement, each of the 18 top-flight clubs will receive GHC 1 million in pre-season funding, amounting to a total of GHC 18 million.
Paintsil believes the package will ease the financial strain on club administrators.
“The 18 million GHC for the GPL clubs is a big boost; it will lift the stress of the club owners. People running football in Ghana have been getting tired without sponsorship from anywhere,” he told reporters during the unveiling of another GFA partnership with MTN.
The MTN deal, valued at $2 million, will support four national teams, including the Black Stars. Paintsil praised the GFA’s efforts in securing back-to-back partnerships that benefit both the domestic league and the national setup.
The former Ghana defender will now turn his attention to national team duties, joining Otto Addo’s technical team as the Black Stars prepare for next month’s 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Chad and Mali.
The 2024/25 Ghana Premier League season kicks off on September 12.
