Women’s Premier League players have applauded the Ghana Football Association (GFA) and its partner, betPawa, for extending the Locker Room Bonus initiative to the Women’s top-flight League for the 2025/26 season.
Faith Ladies defender, Beauty Abena Julius, Jonina Ladies Matilda Bless Fodu and Comfort Yeboah of Ampem Darkoa Ladies both described the move as a game-changing development for women’s football in Ghana, highlighting its potential to boost motivation and competitiveness.
Beauty Abena expressed her excitement over the initiative, saying:
“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 emphasized the positive impact such incentives could have on player performance and the overall standard of the league.
“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 is the kind of support we’ve been hoping for, and it will inspire both current and upcoming players to raise their game,” she said.
Jonina Ladies midfielder, Matilda Fodu added that the Locker Room Bonus is more than just money, it is recognition for the hard work we put in week after week.
Knowing that every win comes with this reward will push us to fight harder on the pitch and make every game count,” she said.
Many players of the Women’s Premier League have also expressed their appreciation to the GFA and betPawa for the Locker Room Bonus.
The Locker Room Bonus, implemented in the Ghana Premier League for the past two seasons, rewards players directly after every match win. The initiative will be rolled out from matchday one and will continue throughout the 2025/26 season.
