Ghana Football Association (GFA) President Kurt Okraku has revealed that each Ghana Premier League (GPL) club will receive GH₵1 million ahead of the 2025/26 league season. This major financial injection is part of a broader plan to strengthen the domestic league and ensure clubs are better resourced to compete at higher levels.

“Each one of our GPL clubs will, before the start of the league season, receive an amount of 1 million Ghana cedis each,” Okraku announced, emphasizing the GFA’s commitment to reviving local football and supporting club development.


Funding Aims to Boost Club Operations and League Quality

This move is expected to significantly ease the financial burden on clubs, many of which struggle with logistics, player welfare, and infrastructure. It also comes at a time when the GFA is making renewed efforts to attract corporate sponsorships and restore public confidence in Ghanaian football.

Analysts and football lovers have lauded the announcement as a timely intervention that could enhance the quality of play, attract more fans to stadiums, and create a more competitive league environment.
