German sportswear giant Puma has extended its partnership with Ghana Football Association.

The new contract sees PUMA continue as the technical supplier and official partner to the GFA for a further long term.

They will continue to supply playing kits, training apparel and equipment to all associated Ghana National Football Teams.

PUMA's production and distribution of official replica kits and fan merchandise for the GFA on a global level will also be ongoing.

The GFA has also enjoyed a long and successful relationship with Ghana, partnering with the PUMA since 2005.



Christian Voigt, Puma’s senior head of sports marketing, said: “African football is important to Puma, and the 10 years of partnership we have enjoyed with the GFA have seen some great moments – none more so than the Black Stars being a kick away from becoming the first African team to reach a World Cup semi-final, four years ago. The appetite and passion for football in Ghana is infectious, and this wonderful spirit has endeared the national team to the world.”

Kwesi Nyantakyi, President of the Ghana Football Federation said: “Over the past decade, PUMA has excelled in its commitment and support for the Ghana Football Association, and we are very happy this partnership will continue.”

“PUMA understands African Football and the nature of its teams and they have delivered everything we have asked of them in helping prepare all of the Ghana senior and youth teams to go forward and be successful.”

The deal has been signed ahead of the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations, which kicks off in Equatorial Guinea on Saturday. Ghana has been drawn in Group C alongside Algeria, Senegal and South Africa.
