President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Kwesi Nyantakyi, has confirmed that he personally signed the agreement for the Black Stars to engage Brazil in London.
"We have just signed an agreement so it is official and once again Ghana will meet Brazil in a match that will see the best of two continents," he said.
The match rights belong to sports marketing company, Kentaro, which boasts the Argentina national team among its clients. No mention was made of dates for Ghana versus Nigeria, Uruguay or indeed Ghana versus Argentina.
The Black Stars are expected to present a credible line-up to Mano Menezes’ side.
Specialising in the global marketing of national soccer federations, leagues and clubs, Kentaro´s core business is the international acquisition and distribution of premium broadcast rights. More than 20 federations rely on Kentaro’s unique network and management skills, as do countless top club sides such as Arsenal FC, Chelsea FC and Liverpool FC.
Headquartered in Switzerland with branch offices in London, Hamburg, Stockholm,Chicago and Rio de Janeiro, the world’s fastest-growing sports rights agency also exclusively organises all exhibition matches of the Brazil national team.Kentaro also recently agreed deals with Russia, Albania and Ukraine
In a related development, the Ghana FA has confirmed Friday, 2 September as the match date for the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Swaziland. The Black Stars will play the Swazis, who are bottom of the four-team table in the penultimate qualifying game at the Accra Sports Stadium.
The Black Stars sit top of Group I with a better goal advantage ahead of Sudan. Ghana won the reverse game 3-0 away with Andre Ayew, Prince Tagoe and Hans Adu Sarpei scoring on the day for the Black Stars.
