He noted that this development ties in with Zeepay’s objective of empowering indigenous Ghanaian businesses.

“Football is a unifier and as a brand, we like to associate ourselves with such brands. I like the fact that GFA has been wholly Ghanaian and that our Black Stars have become very Ghanaian. I like the fact that we are sending a Ghanaian squad and we are happy to associate with them.
