A landmark day for women’s football in Ghana delivered back-to-back finals and unforgettable moments, with Faith Ladies edging Jonina Ladies 2-1 in extra time to lift the Women’s FA Cup, and Police Ladies securing their first-ever Women’s Premier League title with a commanding 2-0 victory over Ampem Darkoa.
Both matches, held on Sunday, May 18, at the University of Ghana Stadium in Legon, marked a major moment not just for the teams involved but for the development of the women’s game – backed by betPawa’s continued investment through its Locker Room Bonus initiative.
betPawa Doubles Locker Room Bonus for Both Finals
In a show of confidence in the players and staff, betPawa doubled the Locker Room Bonus from GHC 400 to GHC 800 for every participant in the FA Cup Final. The support didn’t stop there. Police Ladies also received an exclusive Locker Room Bonus in recognition of their league triumph, underscoring betPawa’s intent to reward excellence and boost morale across women’s football.
This marked the first-ever league title for Police Ladies, and the first time Locker Room Bonus was activated for a Women’s League Final, a signal of intent ahead of betPawa’s plans to extend Locker Room Bonus support to the women’s league next season.
