Kurt Edwin Simeon-Okraku, the president of the Ghana Football Association, has praised Goil for supporting the FA to revive night football.
Due to insufficient funding, night football, a regular feature in the league, was canceled during the last season.
President Simeon-Okraku speaking at the launch said fans loved the nighttime football and it was turning into a festival for many.
‘’Here we are today through the kind courtesy of a Ghanaian owned company Goil Ghana, we are here to celebrate a two-year relationship that will protect our domestic football for the next two years’’ he said.
‘’Two seasons ago, we introduced night football and especially in Accra because of heavy traffic, people will at all times look for alternative ways of dodging traffic and so we introduced night football and indeed, when we introduced night football, we didn’t know where to find the fuel for the floodlights. The FA had to dig in our scarce resources to fund night football activities’’.
‘’I am happy to say that everybody in the capital became used to watching night football at the Accra Sports Stadium which was gaining grounds and became a festival. We couldn’t continue with the night football because we were cash trapped but today through this marriage, Goil Ghana, night football is back,’’
