Unilever Ghana, distributors of Rexona deodorant, has entered into a partnership with Ghanaian football giants Accra Hearts of Oak, reaffirming its commitment to the development of local football.
The partnership was marked by a donation of Rexona’s newly launched products to the entire Hearts of Oak team at the club’s sports complex in Pobiman.
The gesture is aimed at supporting the players both on and off the pitch while strengthening the relationship between the two brands.
Speaking at the presentation ceremony, Unilever’s International Manager, Onyx Adjei, expressed his excitement about the partnership. He noted that Unilever’s decision to collaborate with Hearts of Oak is driven by a desire to promote and uplift local football.
“We believe in supporting local sports, and Hearts of Oak is a strong brand in Ghana and Africa. This partnership is part of our contribution to football development,” he said.
Mr Adjei further urged the players to raise their performance levels and strive to compete consistently on the continental stage, particularly in the CAF Champions League.
On behalf of the club, Madam Philips Mensah, Operations Manager of Accra Hearts of Oak, expressed her appreciation to Unilever for the support. She assured the sponsors that the team is committed to working harder and improving performance to make a strong impact in African competitions.
“We are grateful to Unilever for this partnership. The team is determined to gel well and represent Ghana proudly in Africa,” she stated.
Also present at the event was Robert Amamoo, Marketing Manager of Daddy Ash Limited, a key distributor of Rexona deodorant. He expressed his delight at being part of the partnership and commended both the management and players of Hearts of Oak for embracing the collaboration.
Unilever’s management further assured Hearts of Oak of increased sponsorship support should the club qualify for the CAF Champions League, a move that has been welcomed by fans and stakeholders.
The partnership is expected to boost player morale and strengthen the bond between corporate Ghana and local football as Hearts of Oak continue their pursuit of domestic and continental success.
