Players in Ghana’s Women’s Premier League are buzzing with excitement following the Ghana Football Association’s (GFA) announcement to extend the Locker Room Bonus initiative for the 2025/26 season. This initiative, previously successful in the Ghana Premier League, promises to reward players directly after each match win, significantly boosting motivation and competitiveness in women’s football.
Defender Beauty Abena Julius of Faith Ladies expressed her enthusiasm, stating, “This is a huge encouragement for us. It shows that the GFA and betPawa truly value women’s footballers and are ready to invest in our growth. Knowing there’s a tangible reward for every victory will push us to give our all on every matchday.”
Comfort Yeboah from Ampem Darkoa Ladies highlighted the initiative’s potential to enhance player performance and the overall standard of the league. She explained, “The Locker Room Bonus will make every game count even more. It’s not just about the money — it’s about recognition, fairness, and motivation. This kind of support will inspire both current and upcoming players to raise their game.”
Midfielder Matilda Bless Fodu of Jonina Ladies echoed these sentiments, emphasizing that the bonus represents acknowledgment of their hard work. “Knowing that every win comes with this reward will push us to fight harder on the pitch and make every game count,” she said.
The Locker Room Bonus will be implemented from matchday one and will continue throughout the season, offering players a financial incentive that aligns with their performance. Many players have expressed gratitude to the GFA and betPawa for this initiative, viewing it as a transformative step for women’s football in Ghana.
