“Who is leading the GPL scoring chart?” is a weekly search once the season heats up. The golden boot race sells newspapers, fuels fantasy debates, and can price strikers into bigger moves.
What the Golden Boot Means
The top scorer in the Ghana Premier League for a season — sometimes formally awarded, sometimes tracked informally by media. Rules (penalties, own goals excluded) follow standard league scoring conventions unless GFA states otherwise.
