Millions of football-loving Ghanaians have expressed their heartfelt appreciation to KGL Group and its Executive Chairman Mr. Alex Apau Dadey for their remarkable support in sponsoring the Ghana Black Stars’ qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which will take place in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
The Ghanaian conglomerate, known for its operations in finance, technology, logistics, gaming, and real estate, signed a two-year sponsorship agreement worth GHS 20 million with the Ghana Football Association (GFA) earlier this year. The partnership has been widely credited with boosting the team’s preparation and morale on their journey to qualification.

Another supporter, Bright Yeboah, praised the group’s commitment even in the face of global economic challenges.
“KGL has shown true love for Ghana. Their social investments are impactful, and helping the Black Stars qualify is the best gift for the nation. God bless KGL and Mr. Dadey,” he said.
A National Call Answered
At the official signing ceremony, Mr. Alex Apau Dadey explained that KGL’s sponsorship was not just a corporate responsibility initiative but a call to national duty.
“At KGL Group, we believe sports is a powerful force for national transformation, building discipline, unity, and pride,” Mr. Dadey said. “We are proud to support Ghana’s sporting journey and to be part of the movement to restore pride in the Black Stars.”
He also acknowledged the key roles played by leaders in making the partnership possible, including the Minister of Sports and Recreation, Hon. Kofi Iddie Adams, and President H.E. John Dramani Mahama.

Supporting Football from the Ground Up
Beyond sponsoring the senior national team, KGL continues to invest in grassroots football through the KGL Foundation, which supports the Inter Regional U17 Colts Championship. The competition serves as an important platform for discovering and developing young football talent across the country.
Minister Kofi Iddie Adams commended KGL’s commitment to the growth of sports in Ghana.
“This sponsorship is more than just financial support. It is about believing in the power of sport to unite and uplift our nation,” the minister said. “We thank KGL Group for this meaningful investment.”
GFA President, Kurt Okraku, also expressed his appreciation.
“KGL’s unwavering support is a shining example of how partnerships can drive progress. We are deeply grateful for their trust in Ghanaian football,” he said.

With the Black Stars set to appear at their fifth World Cup, national pride is high, and expectations are growing. Many fans believe that KGL Group’s sponsorship and leadership vision have played a major role in strengthening the team’s success.
As Ghana begins its countdown to the 2026 FIFA World Cup, supporters and football administrators alike are hopeful that this partnership will inspire more corporate organizations to invest in the growth of Ghanaian sports and youth development.
