Betika Ghana has donated products, including bags of rice and canned foods, to the Hasaacas Ladies Football Club. The donation came on May 4, 2026, following the team's second-place finish in the 2025/26 Women's Premier League season.
This support extends a three-year partnership between the sports betting company and the Takoradi-based football club. Betika Ghana previously joined forces with Hasaacas Ladies three years ago. The club presented their silver medal from the recent league season to Betika's Country Manager, John Khawam. This presentation took place as both parties reviewed the team's performance and discussed future plans.
This sponsorship agreement demonstrates the increasing involvement of private sector companies, particularly those in the betting industry, in Ghanaian sports. Betting companies like Betika contribute significantly to the financial sustainability of local sports clubs. This trend provides crucial funding beyond traditional government or federation support. Such investments can improve training facilities, player welfare, and overall club operations. The continued support from Betika Ghana helps Hasaacas Ladies, a prominent team, maintain their competitive edge in the Women's Premier League.
John Khawam, Betika Ghana's Country Manager, congratulated the team on their season's achievements. He reiterated the company's unwavering commitment to the club. Mr. Khawam stated, "For the past three years we have supported this team and we will always support you no matter what." He further added, "This is just a small support, and we will be here anytime when you need us." Club President Nana Banyin Eyison expressed gratitude for the unexpected support. Mr. Eyison noted it provided consolation despite missing the league title. He affirmed the club’s hope to also enhance Betika’s business with their performance.
The ongoing partnership between Betika Ghana and Hasaacas Ladies points to the growing commercialization of Ghanaian football. This trend is vital for attracting investment and professionalizing the sport, particularly women's football. Decision-makers and stakeholders will watch how these sponsorships impact team performance and financial stability. Such corporate backing can lead to improved league standards and greater national representation in international competitions. Hasaacas Ladies will now focus on the Women's FA Cup trophy after finishing second in the league. Their attempt at a sixth league title was unsuccessful this season.
