Goldfields to renew Black Stars sponsorship up to 2010
Accra, Oct. 29, Ghanadot/GNA - Goldfields Ghana Limited,
headline sponsors of Ghana's Black Stars are keen on
renewing their sponsorship of the senior national team up to
the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
The three million dollar marriage of a three-year deal
between the gold mining outfit and the Black Stars ends next
March but the sponsors are enthusiastic on extending their
association with the team.
Johan Botha, newly appointed Vice-President and Managing
Director of the country's biggest single gold mining company
announced this during a meeting with officials of the Ghana
Football Association (GFA) and members of the Stars
technical team on Monday.
The meeting was to officially introduce Mr Botha, the
successor of Mr Alan Ashworth who resigned his position
after 17 months at the post.
Mr Botha said his outfit is eager to extend its romance with
the Black Stars with a package that will take the team
through the qualifiers of the 2010 World Cup and beyond.
He said that the package would be a booster to the Star's
quest that would be fashioned out at a comprehensive meeting
with the football association in the coming days.
An elated President of the GFA, Kwesi Nyantakyi affirmed the
headline sponsors as reliable partners.
He paid glowing tribute to the mining group for the huge
role they played in the qualification of the Stars for the
2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany.
