MTN Ghana has been unveiled as the headline sponsor for all four of Ghana’s national football teams — the Black Stars, Black Queens, Black Satellites, and Black Starlets — in a landmark partnership that signals renewed corporate backing for the sport.
The announcement was made by MTN Ghana CEO Stephen Blewett at a ceremony in Accra on Thursday, August 14, 2025. Blewett expressed pride in associating with Ghana’s most celebrated sporting brands, noting that the deal reflects MTN’s deep-rooted commitment to sports development and national unity.
“Football is a passion that connects the whole country, and MTN is proud to be part of the journey to take our teams to greater heights,” Blewett said, adding that the sponsorship is about more than funding — it’s about inspiring the next generation of Ghanaian footballers.
The partnership will provide vital financial and logistical support to the senior men’s (Black Stars), senior women’s (Black Queens), under-20 men’s (Black Satellites), and under-17 men’s (Black Starlets) teams as they prepare for key tournaments and qualifiers.
Ghana Football Association President Kurt Okraku hailed the sponsorship as a “timely boost” that will strengthen the teams’ competitiveness on both continental and global stages.
Coming at a crucial point in Ghanaian football’s resurgence, the MTN deal reflects a growing trend of major brands investing in African sports — a move fans hope will translate into on-field success for all four national sides.
