Speaker of Parliament announces ‘Visit Ghana’ Project with Sunderland

Ghana's Speaker of Parliament, Alban Sumani Kingsford Bagbin, has unveiled a groundbreaking collaboration between the country's Parliament and Sunderland Football Club. The project, dubbed "Visit Ghana," will see the phrase "Visit Ghana" prominently displayed on the front of Sunderland's jerseys during the 2026/27 English Premier League season.

This initiative aims to bolster tourism in Ghana, with the Speaker emphasizing that the project is driven by private sector investment, not Parliament funding. The Ghana Football Association, the Ministry of Sports and Recreation, and the Ministry of Finance have all expressed their support for the venture. The partnership is set to make Ghana the first African nation to achieve this feat, offering a unique global promotional opportunity for the country via Premier League broadcasts, digital platforms, and international media channels.
