2026-27 GPL Champions To Pocket Record GHS 3m Prize Money
The 2026-27 Ghana Premier League champions will earn a record GHS 3 million prize money, Ghana Football Association (GFA) President Kurt Edwin Simeon-Okraku has announced.
Simeon-Okraku disclosed the new reward package during the GFA’s 32nd Ordinary Congress in Prampram as part of measures to increase the value and competitiveness of the domestic league.
“The winner of the GPL will take home three million Ghana cedis this year,” he said, confirming an increase from the GHS 2 million received by defending champions Medeama after winning the 2025-26 title.
The GFA President added that the second-placed team will receive GHS 1 million, while the clubs finishing third and fourth will earn GHS 800,000 and GHS 750,000 respectively.
The latest prize structure represents another major financial boost for clubs, with the GFA aiming to reward success and encourage stronger competition among Premier League teams.
Simeon-Okraku also announced that all 18 Premier League clubs will receive GHS 1 million each before the start of the new season on September 4, continuing the initiative introduced ahead of the 2025-26 campaign.
“Each of the 18 Premier League clubs received a million Ghana cedis before the start of the 2025-2026 football season.
This was a bold statement of intent to empower our clubs, improve their financial stability, and create the conditions for necessary growth and competitiveness.”
The FA boss confirmed that the same support will be provided again: “For the season beginning 2026-2027, each of the GPL clubs would receive a million Ghana cedis each again.”
According to Simeon-Okraku, the financial investment is aimed at helping clubs build stronger foundations while improving the overall quality of Ghanaian football.
He also praised the partnership with Adesa Productions, describing it as a key factor in enhancing the broadcasting quality, reach, and visibility of Ghana’s football competitions.
