2025/26 Ghana Premier League Kicks Off with Record GHS9.5m Prize Package – GFA President Declares Season “Unique and Historic”
The 2025/26 Ghana Premier League (GPL) officially kicked off today, Friday, September 12, with the President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Kurt Edwin Simeon-Okraku, hailing the season as “unique and historic.”
According to the GFA president, this year’s campaign is backed by “unprecedented direct financial support to all GPL clubs” and a record prize money pool of GHS9.5 million. He described these interventions as a bold step toward strengthening Ghana’s top-flight league, raising standards, and creating a more competitive football environment.
Simeon-Okraku also called for “keen but healthy competition,” stressing the importance of discipline and fair play following last season’s violent incidents, which tragically led to the death of Asante Kotoko supporter Francis Yaw Frimpong, popularly known as Pooley.
“As we open a new chapter in Ghana’s football journey, I wish every club a progressive season,” he said. “Together with players, officials, supporters, partners, and all stakeholders, we must make the Ghana Premier League not only the pride of our nation but one of the very best on the African continent.”
He further noted that the 2025/26 season represents the beginning of a new era for Ghanaian football, which he described as the “GPL revolution.”
