The contract between StarTimes and the Ghana Football Association (GFA) ended on June 30, 2024. The four-year agreement, which was worth $5.25 million, was originally signed in 20202. The termination of the contract was due to outstanding monetary obligations, with StarTimes owing the GFA close to a million dollars.
