The Manager of Sports Marketing at PUMA, Anatanas Ackermann, recently visited the Ghana Football Association (GFA) to reinforce the long-standing partnership between the two organizations. During his visit, Ackermann engaged in a strategic meeting with GFA President Kurt Edwin Simeon-Okraku and General Secretary Prosper Harrison Addo.

Discussions centered on enhancing their fruitful collaboration, with a focus on key areas such as youth football development, women’s football, technical education, and innovative concepts to further elevate the partnership.

Ackermann expressed satisfaction with the thriving relationship, describing Ghana as a vital strategic partner for PUMA. He reaffirmed the company’s commitment to supporting the growth of Ghanaian football at all levels.

This visit follows President Kurt Okraku’s trip to PUMA’s corporate offices in Germany in October 2024, where both parties explored ways to consolidate their relationship.

Since 2005, when PUMA first partnered with the GFA ahead of Ghana’s historic qualification for the 2006 FIFA World Cup, the collaboration has yielded significant successes, including numerous milestones for the Black Stars and other Ghanaian national teams. Both parties remain optimistic about achieving even greater accomplishments in the years ahead.
