The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has officially partnered with 5-Star Energy Drink, marking another significant addition to the Association’s sponsorship portfolio.
5-Star Energy Drink is now the Official Beverage Partner of the GFA.
The partnership, which is set for an initial period of four (4) years, includes the provision of both products and cash to the GFA on annual basis.
This new agreement with 5-Star Energy Drink is the second major partnership deal secured by the GFA within a span of about two months, following the announcement of Lele as the Official Meal Partner of the Association a few weeks ago.
This sponsorship underscores the GFA’s proactive approach in attracting corporate support to bolster the development of football in Ghana.
GFA President Kurt Edwin Simeon-Okraku expressed his excitement about the partnership, stating, “We are delighted to welcome 5-Star Energy Drink into our family of sponsors. This partnership is a testament to the growing confidence of corporate Ghana in our brand and the positive strides we are making in developing football in the country.”
He further added, “The support from 5-Star Energy Drink will undoubtedly energize our players and teams, contributing to their performance on and off the field. We look forward to a fruitful and mutually beneficial relationship.”
Beaming with smiles at the launch of the partnership, which was also attended by GFA Vice President Mark Addo, Executive Council Member Eugene Noel Nobel and Black Stars deputy coach John Paintsil, the President of the GFA expressed the belief that the partnership with 5-Star Energy Drink would boost the energy levels of the Black Stars, Black Queens and the other national teams.
In an interesting reference to the yearning of Ghanaian football enthusiasts for excellent performances by the Black Stars, President Simeon-Okraku said, “It is our earnest hope and belief that our partnership with 5-Star Energy Drink shall result in our qualification for a fifth World Cup as well as our winning that deeply coveted fifth Africa Cup.”
General Manager of 5-Star Energy Drink, Rabih Bourji, also shared their enthusiasm, saying, “We are thrilled to partner with the Ghana Football Association. Football is a significant part of our culture, and supporting the GFA aligns with our commitment to promoting sports and healthy living. We believe this partnership will create great synergies and bring immense value to both parties.”
As part of the partnership, 5-Star Energy Drink will be prominently featured in GFA events and activities, further enhancing its brand visibility and connection with the passionate Ghanaian football community.
With this partnership, the GFA continues to strengthen its sponsorship base, ensuring the necessary resources are available to support the growth and success of football in Ghana.
