The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has officially ended negotiations with Chinese broadcaster StarTimes regarding the renewal of its media broadcast rights agreement.
In a statement issued on Thursday, the GFA confirmed that talks with StarTimes were discontinued in March 2025 after both parties failed to reach an agreement on terms for extending the contract. The previous deal between the two entities expired at the end of the 2023/24 football season.
Following the collapse of negotiations, the GFA has formally notified StarTimes and is seeking to recover an outstanding amount of USD 842,173.36, which it says is due under the previous agreement. The Association has engaged legal counsel and initiated formal procedures to recover the debt.
“The Association remains committed to securing a transparent, fair, and mutually beneficial media partnership that aligns with the interests of our clubs, the Association, and our stakeholders,” the GFA stated.
The termination of talks with StarTimes marks a significant development in the GFA’s ongoing efforts to establish new broadcast arrangements for Ghanaian football.
