The prize money of the Ghana Premier League has been quadrupled ahead of the 2025–26 season's campaign.
President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Kurt Okraku announced the record-breaking financial boost for the Ghanaian top-flight league during the 31st GFA Ordinary Congress at the E.T. Mensah Hall, Ghanaman Centre of Excellence in Prampram.
He revealed a record cash prize of GHC2 million for the winners of the upcoming 2025/26 Ghana Premier League (GPL) season. The previous prize money was Gh¢500,000.
“The winner of the 2025/26 GPL will take home GHS 2 million as prize money,” Okraku said.
“This is a story that has never been told, but today it’s being told. It has been our gospel according to our Premier League every point is important, and now there’s GHS 2 million at stake.”
