Former President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Kwesi Nyantakyi, has attributed the lack of sponsorship in Ghanaian football to persistent hooliganism.
Incidents of fan violence have plagued the sport in recent years, and Nyantakyi believes such behaviour is pushing corporate sponsors away.
Speaking in an upcoming documentary by Joy Sports, the former CAF 1st Vice President stated, “When violence takes centre stage in footballing issues in the country, it drives away sponsors.
“A lot of people don’t want to associate themselves with bad brands tainted with violence and illegality.
“Violence has no place at all in the game,” Nyantakyi added.
The Ghana Premier League has been without a title sponsor since betPawa withdrew its support in November 2023.
