Mr. Addo was particularly impressed with a series of workshops Betway has organized for GWPL club executives, administrators and coaches, pointing out that training sessions have had a noticeable positive impact on the GWPL clubs.

“The workshops have brought us to a very good level that we can build on to the envy of the men’s premier league clubs,” he said. “They wish they could get these seminars as well, and a number of them have called to say that it seems the GFA is over-concentrating on the women.”

Mr. Addo was speaking at the last workshop of the season for GWPL club executives in Accra.

Facilitators included, Warren Engelbrecht, a leader in sports science and high performance, Lydia Monyepao, the CEO of South African Football Association, Saraina Naidu, the Digital lead at Orlando Pirates Football Club, and Abdul-Faisal Chibsah, a FIFA-accreditted high-performance specialist.

Participants engaged in discussions on strategies to enhance the visibility and reputation of the Women's Premier League, both locally and internationally, and expressed some of their experiences and challenges from this season.

Mr Engelbrecht stressed the significance of self-leadership, pointing out that "once you can lead yourself, you can lead others, and when you can lead others, you can lead an organization."

Madam Monyepao encouraged GWPL clubs to prioritize the grooming of young women in football, emphasizing the importance of education for players' long-term career development in the football value chain. 

“Let’s encourage young players to further their education so that once they are done playing football, they can be retained in the football space,” she said.
