The KGL Foundation has pledged $200,000 to the Ghana Football Association (GFA) to support juvenile football in Ghana for the next two years. The funding initiative, which began with the launch of the 2026 KGL U-17 Inter-regional Colts Championship, aims to nurture young talents and promote regional unity. President Kurt Edwin Simeon-Okraku of the KGL Foundation emphasized the foundation's commitment, noting that numerous young players have represented Ghana at the U-17 level due to their support.

This year, each participating team will receive 60 kits, including jerseys, footballs, bibs, and cones, while educational scholarships will be provided to the best players. Ashanti Region secured the title for the second consecutive year after defeating Western Region 2-1.
