Tryton Motors has announced a three-year sponsorship deal with Debibi United FC and Jonina Football Academy, committing to support grassroots football and talent development in Ghana.
The partnership, which will provide critical support to both football institutions, marks a significant investment in the growth of the sport. Speaking at the signing ceremony, Chief Executive Officer of Tryton Motors, Jihad Hijazi, emphasized the importance of creating opportunities for young people. He stated that sponsorship should not be measured solely by the amount of money invested but by the impact it has on people's lives and the opportunities it creates. "Today's event is about much more than signing two sponsorship agreements," Hijazi said. "It's about investing in people, believing in potential and contributing to the future of Ghana football."
The partnership with Debibi United FC and Jonina Football Academy underscores the growing role of private sector investment in Ghanaian football. According to Hijazi, the partnership reflects Tryton Motors' commitment to creating opportunities for young people and investing in the community. He noted that as a responsible corporate institution, the company believes business success should be measured not only by profits but also by the positive impact companies make within their communities.
The sponsorship is a significant boost for women's football and youth development, according to Chief Executive Officer of Jonina Football Academy, Hon. Betty Krosbi Mensah. She described the partnership as a demonstration of the private sector's recognition of women's football as a viable platform for investment and national development. "Tryton Motors has not only chosen to support a football club," Mensah stated. "It has chosen to invest in women, talent, discipline, mobility, opportunity, and the future of Ghana football."
Meanwhile, Chief Executive Officer of Debibi United FC, Richard Ntow Gyan, welcomed the sponsorship, describing it as timely support for a football industry that continues to grapple with inadequate funding. He explained that the sponsorship would help the club meet key operational costs, including player welfare, salaries, and feeding, particularly as preparations begin for the upcoming season. "The football industry in Ghana is lacking sponsorship, so this partnership will go a long way in supporting our operations and our players," Gyan said.
The partnership between Tryton Motors and Debibi United FC and Jonina Football Academy is expected to have a positive impact on the growth of the sport in Ghana. As the three-year agreement takes effect, stakeholders are optimistic that such partnerships will strengthen grassroots football and create more opportunities for emerging talent across the country. With this investment, the future of Ghanaian football looks more promising, and fans can look forward to seeing the positive effects of this partnership in the years to come.
