Ghana Premier League giants Asante Kotoko SC have announced a one-year partnership deal with the state-owned National Lottery Authority (NLA).
The partnership deal which will be mutually beneficial to the two parties was announced at an event held at the Golden Tulip Hotel in Kumasi.
Under this new partnership agreement with the Ghanaian gaming company, the Porcupine Warriors will receive 1 million Ghana Cedis in a year, subject to renewal.
This comes barely a week after the 24-times Ghanaian champions and betting company Betika agreed on a two-year partnership deal worth 1.3 million Ghana cedis.
Monday’s event was attended by Asante Kotoko Chief Executive Officer Nana Yaw Amponsah who expressed gratitude to NLA for investing in the club.
