Players and eligible officials received advance per diems on July 29 for the period covering July 26 to August 7, 2026, acknowledged through signed allowance sheets. An additional per diem payment was made on August 11 to cover August 8 to August 14, following the team's quarter-final elimination and continued stay in Morocco for the FIFA Women's World Cup play-in pathway. The Ministry also stated that Ghana recorded one victory during the WAFCON group stage, against Cape Verde, entitling players and eligible officials to one winning bonus from the group stage, which is processed separately from per diems.
