The Ghana Football Association (GFA) president, Kurt Okraku, announced during the 32nd Ordinary Congress that each club in the Ghana Premier League will receive GHS1 million for the upcoming 2026/27 season. The winner of the league will take home GHS3 million, amounting to a total of GHS9.5 million paid to clubs. This financial support comes amid concerns over declining fan interest, poor officiating, substandard playing surfaces, and allegations of match manipulation.
