Hasaacas Ladies have reaffirmed their relationship with NGUVU Mining Limited following a visit to the company’s Chief Executive Officer, Madam Angela Liste, ahead of the 2026/27 football season.

The Western Region-based club presented their Women’s FA Cup trophy and a medal from last season to Liste as a gesture of appreciation for her personal support and that of NGUVU Mining towards the club.

The engagement follows an earlier visit during which Liste donated footballs to Hasaacas Ladies and pledged continued support towards the development of women’s football.

The club expressed gratitude for the company’s contribution, which it believes will help strengthen its operations and support the growth of the female game.

Angela Liste and her firm Nguvu Mining have for the past couple of years been a strong advocate and partner of women’s football through Hasaacas Ladies, helping talented young girls achieve their dreams of playing football. The donation of balls to both Hasaacas Ladies and some other football clubs is a testament to her commitment to the sporting sector.

The visit forms part of Hasaacas Ladies’ broader engagements with stakeholders as they prepare for the new campaign, with the club hoping to build on last season’s achievements and further strengthen partnerships that contribute to its development.

JAC Tryton Motors has strengthened its involvement in Ghana football after officially signing sponsorship agreements with Ghana Women’s Premier League side Jonina Ladies and newly promoted Ghana Premier League club Debibi United FC.

The agreements were formalised at the company’s head office on Tuesday, July 14, 2026, bringing together officials of JAC Tryton Motors, representatives of both clubs, players, coaches, football administrators, members of the media and other stakeholders.
The partnership represents support for both the women’s and men’s games, with the company committing to initiatives aimed at promoting talent development, professionalism and the sustainable growth of football in Ghana.

For Jonina Ladies, the sponsorship provides an important boost as the club continues to compete at the highest level of Ghanaian women’s domestic football. The partnership also underlines the growing involvement of corporate organisations in supporting women’s football and creating opportunities for female players to develop.

Jonina Ladies have continued to establish themselves in the Ghana Women’s Premier League while nurturing some of the country’s promising talents. The club recently saw captain and Black Princesses forward Agnes Yeboah secure a permanent transfer to Chinese Women’s Super League side Guangdong Meizhou Women Football Club.

On the men’s side, Debibi United will also benefit from the partnership as they prepare for life in the Ghana Premier League following their promotion to the top flight.

The sponsorship agreements mark a significant investment across both sides of Ghanaian football and offer Jonina Ladies and Debibi United additional support as they pursue their respective ambitions in the upcoming season.

The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has announced Gold Fields Ghana Limited as the new headline sponsor of the Ghana Women’s Premier League.

The partnership marks a significant step towards the continued growth and development of women’s football in Ghana, with the collaboration expected to enhance the league’s competitiveness, visibility, and sustainability.

Gold Fields Ghana Limited takes over as headline sponsor following the end of the successful partnership between the GFA and Malta Guinness, which played a key role in supporting the progress of the women’s top-flight league.

The new sponsorship agreement is expected to provide renewed energy and opportunities for clubs, players, and stakeholders as the league continues to build a stronger platform for women’s football.
The GFA has welcomed Gold Fields Ghana Limited into the Ghana football family and expressed appreciation for the company’s confidence in the future of the women’s game.

Further details on the sponsorship package, the unveiling of the new Ghana Women’s Premier League identity, and plans for implementation will be announced in due course.
