Herbalife Ghana Named Official Nutrition Partner of LA Galaxy Star Joseph Paintsil’s JP Academy

Herbalife Ghana has announced an official nutrition partnership with LA Galaxy
and Ghana Black Stars player Joseph’s Paintsil’s JP Academy football club,
where the company will serve as the Official Nutrition Partner of JP Academy.

The partnership was unveiled at a press briefing held at Herbalife Ghana’s offices at Airport Square in Accra.
It forms part of the company’s continued investment in youth sports development and
community empowerment initiatives across Ghana.

Speaking at the event, Clarence Amenyah, Sr Manager, Country Sales, Ghana said:
“I’m delighted that Herbalife Ghana has had the opportunity to partner with Joseph. This initiative is focused on education,
sports development and nutrition for young people and we hope it will deliver a long-term and sustained impact as our relationship develops.

Joseph Paintsil, who attended the launch, expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration and its potential to transform young lives:
“I am grateful to Herbalife International, Herbalife Ghana and LA Galaxy for this opportunity.
This partnership shows Herbalife’s genuine commitment to supporting communities and investing in grassroots football.”

The partnership builds on Paintsil’s existing relationship with Herbalife through LA Galaxy, where the company serves as the club’s exclusive nutrition partner. This extension brings that performance-focused collaboration to Ghana, with the aim of strengthening athlete development at grassroots level.
Herbalife Ghana has operated in the country since 2011 through its network of independent distributors.
Globally, Herbalife operates in more than 90 countries, and its product ranges include weight management, targeted nutrition, sports nutrition and outer nutrition, all of which are designed to support individual wellness goals.
JP Academy at the Centre of the Initiative.

Central to the partnership is JP Academy, Paintsil’s football academy, which will serve as the primary platform
for implementing the programme in Ghana. The academy focuses on nurturing young talent while instilling discipline,
teamwork and character development.

“At JP Academy, our aim is to give young footballers a professional environment where they can grow both as players and as individuals,”
Paintsil noted. “We want to contribute meaningfully to Ghanaian football and produce players who excel on and off the pitch.”
Through the partnership, academy players will gain access to structured nutrition education and products, addressing a key gap
often seen in grassroots sports development.

As part of the agreement, Herbalife Ghana will work with JP Academy’s coaching staff to design and implement a structured,
team-wide nutrition programme for academy players, including education on fueling, hydration and recovery to support athletic development.

As part of the launch activities, Herbalife Ghana and Joseph Paintsil paid a visit to Potter’s Village in Dodowa,
a partner organisation of the Herbalife Family Foundation. The visit included the presentation of nutrition products and essential
supplies, underscoring the partnership’s immediate community impact.

“This visit reflects our commitment to supporting communities where help is most needed,” Amenyah said.
“It is important that our work goes beyond sport to touch lives more broadly.”
