Kofi Adams, for greater corporate Ghana involvement in advancing sports development across the country. It also stands as a response to the rallying call from the President of the Republic, H.E. John Dramani Mahama urging corporate Ghana to “bring back the love” for the Black Stars and rekindle the spirit of national unity and pride through sports.
At the official signing ceremony, the Executive Chairman of KGL Group, Mr. Alex Apau Dadey, emphasized that this renewed sponsorship agreement was not only about corporate sponsorship, a mere afterthought or Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) checkbox, but as a central pillar of answering a national call to action.

Through the KGL Foundation, the group sponsors the Inter-Regional U-17 Colts Championship, providing young talent from every corner of Ghana the opportunity to fostering young football talent from and creating a strong pipeline for future national teams.
