GH₵1 million for all clubs before season starts

This comes two weeks after the GFA unveiled a major partnership with Adesa Production Limited (APL) to support the organisation and broadcast of the 2025/26 Ghana Premier League (GPL) season. 

As part of the agreement, each GPL club is set to receive GH₵1 million in funding before the season begins, a strategic move to strengthen club administration and enhance the overall competitiveness of the league. 

Kurt Okraku clarified that the support is not a donation but a firm commitment under the new model agreed upon by the GFA, Adesa Productions, and the government. 

This additional prize money announcement means the eventual winner of the 2025/26 will walk away with a minimum of GH₵3 million.
