Ghana's FA has paid out GH¢2 million to all 20 Women's Premier League clubs, backing its promise to build a stronger, more sustainable women's game.
Ghana is putting real money behind its women's football. The Ghana Football Association has paid GH¢2 million to the 20 clubs in the Gold Fields Women's Premier League, with each side receiving GH¢100,000 on Tuesday, November 3, 2026.
The payment fulfils a pledge from GFA President Kurt Edwin Simeon-Okraku to ease the financial pressure on clubs and make the women's game more sustainable. It is part of a wider support package meant to lift the quality of the competition across the 2026/27 season.
The cash is only one piece of the package. The GFA will keep covering referees' and Match Commissioners' fees, which removes a regular cost from club budgets. Each club is also due to receive 30 pairs of football boots, helping with player welfare and access to essential kit.
There is logistical help too. GOIL is providing fuel assistance to ease the cost of travel on the road, and Melcom is supplying souvenirs. Together, these should help clubs manage the demands of a long domestic campaign.
For a league where finances are often tight, this kind of practical backing could make a real difference to how clubs prepare, travel and compete. The GFA says it is committed to a stronger Women's Premier League, and this payout shows that commitment in action.
