Guinea.- Guinea\u2019s National Lottery (LONAGUI<\/strong>) is channeling lottery revenue <\/strong>into local football <\/strong>by backing the League Cup, a key competition for professional clubs.<\/strong> By funding the tournament, LONAGUI demonstrates how national lotteries can directly invest in sports <\/strong>while engaging fans across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LONAGUI’s Marketing, Communication and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)<\/strong> teams recently met with the technical committee of the Guinean Professional Football League to plan the tournament, finalise the schedule of activities and adjust partnership<\/strong> agreements to optimise promotion and fan engagement<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Lottery said: \u201cLONAGUI has played a decisive role in the revival<\/strong> of the League Cup, a major competition for the strengthening and competitiveness <\/strong>of local professional clubs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With LONAGUI\u2019s financial backing<\/strong>, the League Cup has returned for two consecutive years, raising the level of competition among local clubs and capturing the attention of football fans<\/strong> nationwide. The initiative highlights how lottery and gambling operators can play a positive<\/strong> role in community and sports development while connecting their brand with fans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Guinea\u2019s official national lottery operator, LONAGUI runs lottery and other authorised gambling games<\/strong> products, generating revenue that is reinvested into social <\/strong>and community<\/strong> projects, including sports, education and cultural initiatives. Its sponsorship of the League Cup is part of a broader strategy<\/strong> to use lottery proceeds to benefit local communities while promoting responsible gambling.<\/p>\n\n\n
