Ghana government gives each of 18 Premier League clubs 1 million cedis for 2026/27 season

In Ghana, the government has confirmed its sponsorship of the 2026/27 Ghana Premier League, providing GH¢1 million to each of the 18 clubs. Sports and Recreation Minister Kofi Iddie Adams announced the funding, which aims to help clubs become financially sustainable and eventually operate without heavy state reliance. The support comes as the league has lacked a major commercial sponsor, and the government hopes to strengthen domestic football. The season began in September, with clubs using the funds to cover operational costs.
