Bibiani GoldStars head coach, Frimpong Manso, has commended the Ghana Football Association (GFA) for their decision to give each Premier League club GHS 1 million before the start of the 2025/26 football season.
This comes after a partnership deal between GFA and Adesa Production Limited (APL) was announced on Thursday.
The deal includes three live games every week, together with a packaged highlight show.
Manso, who led GoldStars to their historic first league title last season, said the pre-season financial injection is timely, especially for teams preparing for continental competition.
“I think it's a very good initiative by the FA because you don't have to wait till the start of the season before money comes,” he told Joy Sports.
“You need money to prepare the team before the competition starts. So for me, coming at this time of the season, I think it's the best thing they have done.”
The former Ghana international, however, believes more must be done to sustain club competitiveness.
“Although you cannot say that one million Ghana cedis will be enough for the entire duration of the league for me, I think it's a very good start.
"Maybe going forward, they might get another sponsorship and then add up; it will make the league very, very competitive.”
GoldStars will know their CAF Champions League preliminary round opponents on August 12.
