Goldfields 480,000 dollar
sponsorship for Black Stars
Accra, Jan 10, Ghanadot/GNA -
Goldfields Ghana Limited, headline sponsors of the Black
Stars has announced a 480,000 dollar package for the team
ahead of the MTN African Cup of Nations.
The package is aimed at propelling the team who would be
making a fifth attempt at gold when the competition
commences in the Ghanaian capital, Accra on Sunday, January
20.
Dr. Tony Aurbynn, Head of Corporate Affairs and Social
Development of Goldfields Ghana Limited said on Thursday
that the package was to ensure that the Stars, who are
chasing Egypt's fifth Nation's Cup Gold will be better
placed to win the trophy in style.
"We are hosting to win and we are more than convinced that
this support will go a long way to motivate the players to
annex the trophy.
"To whom much is given, much is expected. With our effort so
far, I do not think it will be too much to ask the Stars to
deliver unto us the ultimate trophy in the end."
The package is the last bit of the three-year sponsorship
agreement signed between the two parties in 2005.
Goldfields and the Ghana Football Association (GFA) are
billed to announce an extension of the relationship that has
spanned three years.
The "Miners" in 2005 announced a three million dollar
sponsorship package to the Ghanaians then playing in the
2006 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
Dr. Aurbynn said the relationship has so far fetched the
desired mutual benefit.
That contract would run out after the three-week fiesta.
