The Executive Committee of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) has approved a sum of GHS 2,260,000 in financial packages for league clubs before the 2019/20 season gets underway.
A statement by the GFA, however, said: “the package is an advance to the clubs to help them prepare for the upcoming season, and it will be deducted from sponsorship funds due the clubs should the GFA secure sponsorship deals for the respective leagues.”
Below is a breakdown of financial packages to Premier League, Division One and Women’s Premier League clubs:
- 50,000 Cedis for each of the 18 Premier League clubs, totalling 900,000 Cedis.
- 25,000 Cedis for each of the 48 Division One League clubs, totalling 1,200,000 Cedis.

The GFA will also supply the following number of footballs to the clubs: 30 footballs to each of the Premier League club, 20 footballs to each Division One club and 20 footballs to each Women’s Premier League club.
The Executive Council has also approved subsidies for registration cards for the various competitions.
Premier League clubs will pay 10 cedis per card instead of 50, Division One clubs will pay 10 cedis per card instead of 25 cedis and women’s clubs will also pay 10 cedis per card instead of 25 cedis.
