Winner of GPL to take ¢120,000 this season

CONFIRMED: Ghana Premier

League winner to pocket US$

30,000 as prize money

The Premier League Board has confirmed

the winner of 2015/2016 Ghana Premier

League will earn GH¢ 120,000 (US$

30,000) as prize money,

GHANASoccernet.com can confirm.

This was announced at a ceremony on

Thursday to unveil the new trophy for the

Ghana top-flight.

In March this year, a meeting between the

Premier League Board and the Ghana FA

Emergency Committee unilaterally agreed

on the amount even if no sponsor came on

board.

With eight matches to the end of the

season, it is fair to say no sponsor will like

to come on board.

The league winner will be paid the amount

from the coffers of the Ghana FA even if the

association fails to find a sponsor for the

league.

This will reduce the financial burden on the

Ghanaian champion who will represent the

country in the CAF Champions League.

Last season's winner AshantiGold

received GH¢ 50,000 as prize money
