Players of the Women's FA Cup will benefit from the betPawa Locker Room Bonus from the Round of 16 stage in the 2024-25 season.
For the first time in the history of Ghana football, female players will be entitled to GH¢400 cash reward for each victory and would also include three Technical Team members in the Matchday squad, benefitting from the financial package.
The betPawa Locker Room Bonus was introduced two seasons ago with only Premier League players being beneficiaries.
But that has now been expanded with the addition of the Locker Room Bonus for the Women's FA Cup from the Round of 16 stage while maintaining the initiative for the players and officials of the Ghana Premier League.
In the 2023-24 Premier League season, betPawa invested a total of GH¢1.23 million in Locker Room Bonuses to the Premier League’s players from 17 out of the 18 participating teams. Only Asante Kotoko SC did not participate in the initiative.
The Locker Room Bonus was introduced in the GPL during the 2022/23 season to celebrate winners and further reward great performances. For the 2023/24 campaign, the amount paid out per player was more than doubled from GH¢150 the previous season to GH¢400.
This winning bonus is paid to all players that make the squad list per match in the Ghana top-tier league. The money is paid directly to their mobile phone wallets immediately after winning a match in the dressing room at the stadium.
BetPawa also funded the construction of an Astro Turf at the GFA Technical Centre, the Ghanaman Soccer Centre of Excellence (GSCE) in Prampram.
The Locker Room Bonus initiated by betPawa and the GFA in the Ghana Premier League has now been introduced by betPawa-affiliated sports leagues in Rwanda and Uganda, with plans to extend the initiative to other African countries following a successful implementation in Ghana.
The betting brand’s management has previously said that the system used to distribute the bonus is open to like-minded leagues and corporations that would like to reward players in a similar way.
