PUMA pays working visit to Football Association to solidify long-standing partnership
Manager of Sports Marketing, PUMA – Anatanas Ackermann, has paid a working visit to the Ghana Football Association (GFA), where he met with President Kurt Edwin Simeon-Okraku and General Secretary, Prosper Harrison Addo, to discuss matters of mutual interest.
The strategic meeting with the top Executive of the Official Kit Partner of the Ghana Football Association focused on ways of improving the long-standing relationship between the Football Association and the renowned Sports kit company.
The discussion also covered the areas of improved concept, youth football development, women’s football, and technical education.
Anatanas Ackermann praised the thriving partnership between Ghana and PUMA, reaffirming Ghana as a vital strategic partner.
He emphasised PUMA’s commitment to supporting the growth of Ghana football at all levels.
In October 2024, President Kurt E.S Okraku visited PUMA’s corporate offices in Germany, where he met with top Executives to discuss consolidating and solidifying the relationship between the two parties.
The Ghana Football Association and PUMA have enjoyed a fruitful collaboration since 2005, when the Black Stars first qualified for the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany.
This enduring partnership has yielded remarkable successes over the years and both the GFA and Puma are looking forward to many more years of success together.
The Ghana Football Association (GFA) and all the clubs participating in this weekend’s competitions will pay special tribute in honour of the memory of the late Dominic Frimpong of Berekum Chelsea FC (on loan from Aduana FC).
The GFA has in a statement announced that all the players and team officials of the 6 clubs playing this weekend competitions will wear black armbands on their jerseys as a mark of respect during their respective matches.
In addition, a minute of silence will be observed before the commencement of each game in his honour. This tribute will take place during the MTN FA Cup semi-final matches as well as the Women’s Premier League final scheduled for this weekend.
“The GFA counts on the full cooperation of all clubs and the fans in respectfully observing these arrangements as we collectively pay tribute to Dominic Frimpong,” the statement added.
