Ghana Women’s Premier League champions, Police Ladies, secured the 2025 Champion of Champions trophy after defeating Faith Ladies 2-0 on Saturday, October 18.

The thrilling encounter was hosted at the Ghanaman Soccer Centre of Excellence and marked the official curtain-raiser for the upcoming 2025/26 women’s football season.

Philicity Asuako broke the deadlock for Police Ladies in the 33rd minute, giving her team the lead before halftime. After the break, Deborah Afriyie doubled the advantage, sealing a comfortable victory for the Premier League winners over the FA Cup holders, Faith Ladies.

Police Ladies clinched the Premier League title for the first time in their history by overcoming Ampem Darkoa Ladies in the final. Faith Ladies earned the FA Cup crown by defeating Jonina Ladies but faced relegation from the Premier League, making their Champion of Champions appearance bittersweet.

This victory stands as a major boost for Police Ladies’ head coach, Abu Kassim Tabasu, who now prepares his side to defend their league title with confidence. The team’s strong start in this prestigious tournament sets a positive tone for the challenges ahead in the new season.

The 2025/26 Women’s Premier League season is scheduled to kick off on October 31, with Police Ladies eager to build on their recent success and continue their rise in Ghanaian women’s football. Faith Ladies, despite relegation, will also be looking to regroup and make a strong impact in the coming season.
