Government loan fuels Ghana Premier League season- Sports Minister reveals
12th November 2025
Ghana’s Sports and Recreation Minister, Kofi Adams, has confirmed that the government secured a GHS 20 million bank loan to support the 2025/26 Ghana Premier League (GPL) season — a move aimed at enhancing competitiveness, visibility, and club readiness.
Speaking on Peace FM, Adams revealed:
“We took a loan of 20 million cedis from the bank as investment into the Ghana Premier League. We are working with corporate institutions to pay back this loan as soon as possible.”
Broadcast Deal & Club Support
Before the season began, the Ghana Football Association (GFA) announced that each Premier League club would receive GHS 1 million, tied to a broadcast partnership with Adesa Productions.
While initial reports hinted at government involvement, the GFA denied direct financial input — until Adams’ statement confirmed the ministry’s behind-the-scenes role.
