He said plastic waste that would be collected at the Baba Yara, Sekondi and Tamale Stadia would be recycled and turned into bags for donation to needy institutions.
Mr Osei-bonsu said the company would honour players, who would excel at the Ghana 2008 tournament.
Skipper John Mensah, who received the items on behalf of the Black Stars, thanked the company for the gesture and expressed the hope that the items would motivate the players to win the tournament.
