Latex Foam Supports Black Stars
Latex Foam has signed a sponsorship deal, subject to annual renewal for five years, with the Ghana Football Association (GFA) at its head office in Accra.
The package, $100,000 per year for five years, was intended to cushion the senior national male soccer team, the Black Stars, and the FA in its operations.
Rolling out at its Switch Back Road office yesterday, Jamil Mouganie, Deputy General Manager of Latex Foam said it was an honour and a privilege to support the team.
'In our business, we believe for every individual to give his best shot by way of productivity, the mind and the body will require good rest. We at Latex Foam believe if you sleep well, you dream well, hence this support.
'We want to make sure that our players and the technical team sleep well, so they can dream well, and realize their dream of making their third successive World Cup appearance and winning many more trophies for the country.
'We consider this package a dream one simply because we believe it will cushion them to realize their dreams. Anytime they represent us, they do it (dream), and winning the World Cup has been a dream, but we hope this support will them realize that dream,' Mouganie said.
He pledged his outfit's continued support as the years roll by.
GFA chief Mr Kwesi Nyantakyi indicated that the financial boost will go a long way to support the FA in the smooth running of its day-to-day activities.
According to him, the package had come at an opportune time as the team prepare in their forthcoming World Cup qualifiers and ultimately make it to Brazil 2014.
'This package will certainly go a long way to alleviate our financial burden. We need such support to take care of our administrative expenses. Government alone can't support us all the time. I want to assure you that you wouldn't regret associating with us,' said Mr Nyantakyi.
He appealed to West Africa's biggest foam manufacturers to consider throwing their weight behind the various Supporters Unions by way of sponsorship in future.
Public Relations Officer of Latex Foam Gifty Asare Ekeocha, revealed that the team will benefit from their products by way of rewards.
