betPawa Injects Over $300,000 into Ghana Football Ahead of World Cup, WAFCON Campaigns
The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has received a major boost ahead of the Black Stars’ FIFA World Cup qualification campaign and the Black Queens‘ participation at the upcoming Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON), following a support package worth over $300,000 from leading sports betting brand betPawa.
The latest support reinforces a longstanding partnership between betPawa and the GFA, a relationship that has seen significant investments made into Ghanaian football over the past few years.
The funding is expected to contribute towards preparations for both national teams as Ghana seeks to strengthen its presence on the continental and global stage.
Speaking on the support package, Head of Local Marketing and CSR at betPawa, Borah Omary Ndanyungu, said the company’s commitment extends beyond sponsorship and focuses on creating meaningful opportunities for Ghanaian football to thrive.
“Football is one of Ghana’s greatest unifiers. Every time the Black Stars or Black Queens step onto the pitch, millions of dreams travel with them. Our role is not simply to sponsor football, but to stand behind those dreams and help create the conditions for success. This support reflects our belief that when Ghanaian football wins, the entire nation moves forward together.”
The latest contribution comes after betPawa’s successful partnership with the Ghana Premier League and the Malta Guinness Women’s Premier League through the Locker Room Bonus initiative, which delivers direct financial rewards to players immediately after victories.
The initiative has become one of the most direct player welfare programmes in African football, ensuring that athletes directly benefit from their performances on the pitch. GFA officials welcomed the support, describing it as a timely contribution that will strengthen preparations for upcoming international assignments.

To the Black Stars and Black Queens, I say this, the support you receive today is not merely a reward. It is a vote of confidence in your ability and your character and your capacity to make Ghana proud. Carry that responsibility with the humility, determination and purpose. To our friends at betPawa, thank you for your continued trust in Ghana Football. Thank you for investing in our players. Thank you for supporting our national teams and demonstrating that corporate partnerships can create a real impact where it matters most- in the life of athletes in the future of our game.”
As Ghana prepares for crucial football milestones, the renewed commitment from betPawa highlights the growing role of private-sector investment in supporting the development and success of the nation’s game.
