Ghana Football Association (GFA) President, Kurt Okraku, has expressed his gratitude to MTN for its timely $2 million sponsorship package to Ghana’s national football teams, particularly the Black Stars, during their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign. The deal, which covers the Black Stars, Black Queens, Black Satellites, and Black Starlets, has given the senior national team a fresh motivation and belief that a corporate entity such as MTN is behind them in their campaign towards another World Cup qualification.
According to Okraku, the financial backing has boosted the morale of the players and given them the confidence to push harder. “The motivation that comes with MTN’s support cannot be underestimated. It has boosted the morale of our players and given them the confidence to push harder as we seek another World Cup qualification,” he said.
Okraku emphasized that modern football has become an expensive venture, requiring not just assistance from FIFA and the government, but also strong corporate backing. MTN’s intervention demonstrates true corporate leadership and a commitment to developing Ghana football at all levels. “Beyond the Black Stars, MTN’s sponsorship is helping the Black Queens, Satellites, and Starlets. This holistic investment is building the future of Ghana football,” he added.
Okraku reserved special praise for MTN, describing the partnership as a “game-changer.” He also acknowledged other sponsors, including KGL Foundation, Lele Rice, 5 Star, and Goil, for their contributions to the national teams.
MTN Ghana has congratulated the Black Stars on their qualification to the FIFA World Cup, describing the achievement as a true reflection of Ghana’s indomitable spirit, hard work, and unity of purpose. The company believes that the determination and resilience exhibited by the team embody its own “can-do” spirit — a belief that with focus and teamwork, success is always within reach.
