Former Asante Kotoko head coach, Maxwell Konadu, has welcomed the new production partnership deal between Adesa Productions Limited (APL) and the Ghana Football Association (GFA) ahead of the new football season.

The partnership was announced on Thursday with the Sports Minister, Kofi Adams and Chief of Staff, Julius Debrah, together with government and GFA officials all present.

Speaking after the launch, Konadu described the Adesa-GFA agreement as a "very, very good initiative" that could transform the local game. "This has been long overdue," he said. "These are the kinds of interventions that can really support our game.

Once it starts, it will help a lot of youth and go a long way in sustaining clubs.
