Perlpia Ladies have completed a stunning comeback to Ghana’s Women’s Premier League after edging Nasara Ladies 1-0 in a tense finale to the Women’s Zonal Championship.
The breakthrough came just before the halftime whistle, when Abdul Rahman Barikisu calmly slotted home what turned out to be the match-winner, sparking jubilant celebrations on the Perlpia bench.
After suffering relegation last season, the northern giants have fought their way back to the top under the steady guidance of head coach Baba Nuhu Mallam.
Ash-Town Ladies will also join next season’s elite after confirming their promotion earlier in the week.
Despite a 2-1 loss to Candy Soccer Ladies on the final day, their earlier results had already secured their ticket to the Premier League.
Elsewhere, Bolga Sharp Arrows finally found something to smile about with their first win of the season.
They defeated Wa All Stars Ladies, who end their campaign without a single point and a painful 28 goals conceded.
