Women’s Premier League players laud betPawa Locker Room Bonus extension to Malta Guinness Women’s Premier League
The Ghana Football Association (GFA) and its partner, betPawa, have been praised by Women’s Premier League players for expanding the Locker Room Bonus program to the Women’s top-tier league for the 2025–2026 season.
Beauty Abena Julius, Faith Ladies’ defender, and Jonina Ladies Comfort Yeboah of Ampem Darkoa Ladies and Matilda Bless Fodu both called the move a revolutionary step for women’s football in Ghana, emphasizing how it may increase competitiveness and motivation.
Beauty Abena shared her enthusiasm for the project by 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.
“The Locker Room Bonus is more than just money, it’s recognition for the hard work we put in week after week,” Jonina Ladies midfielder Matilda Fodu remarked.
We will be motivated to work harder on the field and make every game matter knowing that every victory will result in this reward,” she stated.
The GFA and betPawa have also received praise from other Women’s Premier League players for the Locker Room Bonus.
Players are rewarded immediately following each match victory under the Locker Room Bonus, which has been in place in the Ghana Premier League for the last two seasons. The program will begin on the first day of play and last through the 2025–2026 campaign.
