The upcoming Ghana Premier League (GPL) season is facing uncertainty due to the absence of a title sponsor, with Berekum Chelsea’s owner, Bernard Nana Yaw Amofa Jantuah, calling on the government for assistance. Following the unexpected termination of Betpawa’s three-year sponsorship deal just over a year into the contract, the Ghana Football Association (GFA) is left searching for financial support.

During an interview with Kessben FM, Jantuah, a well-known businessman, voiced his concerns over the lack of sponsorship, stressing the financial strain it places on clubs. “There is no sponsorship for the Ghana Premier League… The cost involved in running a club isn’t easy, so I will plead with the government to help the FA secure sponsorship in order to relieve clubs from their burden,” he said.

Jantuah also highlighted the inadequate prize money, pointing out that the league struggles to offer $200,000 for a season. With Berekum Chelsea preparing for the September kick-off, the financial challenges looming over the league remain a significant worry.
