This is because official kits sent by PUMA for the Black Stars and the other national football teams have been locked up at the airport for over a month now. Usually, the GFA would write to the Sports Ministry who then write to the Finance Ministry to give it a waiver since the kits are meant for the national teams. While that usual process has been done, our checks say the Finance Ministry has yet to respond to the request of the Sports Ministry. PUMA first entered into a sponsorship deal with the Ghana Football Association in 2005 and have remained proud of the African side since the agreement was signed in Accra. The German kit manufacturers are the official supplier of equipment to all the senior national side of the Ghana Football Association but some of the kits are used for all the other teams including the women’s national sides.
