GFA unveils new GPL production partner; clubs to receive GHC1 million each

Ghana Premier League

The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has announced a partnership with Adesa Production Limited (APL) for the production of the 2025/26 Ghana Premier League (GPL) season.

As part of the agreement, each GPL club will receive GHS1 million in funding before the season kicks off — a move aimed at strengthening club operations and enhancing league competitiveness.

“Through this unique partnership with Adesa Productions, each one of our GPL clubs will, before of the start of the league season, receive the amount of a million Ghana cedis each,” President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Kurt Okraku said.

“This will be made possible through the new partnership. This will be our minimum payment for each of our GPL clubs under our new model.

“This is not a grant, it is a firm commitment by the Football Association, by Adesa Productions and by the government,” he added.

In addition to the upfront support, clubs will earn performance-based bonuses based on their final positions on the league table.

This, according to the GFA, is designed to foster healthy competition and motivate teams to aim higher.

The initiative is expected to boost the financial standing of clubs, reducing reliance on player sales and curbing the talent drain that has long affected the domestic league.

The GFA hopes this investment will also attract more sponsorship and interest from both local and international stakeholders.

The deal guarantees three live games every weekend, giving fans regular access to top-tier domestic football.

Furthermore, all 18 league matches each round will be repackaged into highlight shows, ensuring supporters never miss the key moments of each fixture.

This development follows a series of commercial partnerships secured by the GFA, including deals with LeLe Tasty Foods Ghana Limited and Kasapreko Company Limited — all part of a broader strategy to revitalise Ghanaian football.

The 2025/26 Ghana Premier League will kick off on the weekend of September 12.
