The Ghana Football Association (GFA) have announced that Women’s Premier League (WPL) clubs will take home $160,000 from the FIFA/CAF Covid-19 relief funds and an additional $26,000 for NHIS registration.
The 16 top-flight clubs will get $10,000 each from the fund, as the 72 women’s Division One Regional clubs will disburse $60,000 among themselves.
The money is expected to relieve clubs off the financial difficulties caused by Covid-19 which forced the GFA to cancel the 2019/20 Women's League.
The WPL teams are already on a YEA relief fund which will see each player pocket 500gh at the end of the month.
The FA also stated, over 3500 players and technical staff from the elite clubs are expected to enrol on the National Health Insurance (NHIS) scheme, with each team expected to register not more than 50 personnel which includes footballers, technical team and management members on the package.
According to the FA, $26,000 has been set aside to cater for the registration and other logistical activities of all the players and technical staff of the three sectors on the NHIS scheme.
