Other Southern Zone fixtures provided significant drama, particularly the encounter between Lady Strikers and Immigration Ladies. Despite falling behind early to a goal from Immigration's Pearl Antwi, Lady Strikers staged an impressive comeback with three unanswered goals from Bathseba Nyarko, Eunice Darkoa, and Hawa Usmanu to secure a 3-1 win. Defending interests in the zone, Hasaacas Ladies also recorded a vital 2-1 victory over Army Ladies, with Milot Pokuaa and Belinda Kpoglo finding the net, while Zinatu Alhassan provided a consolation for the Army side. The match between Oak Ladies and Rootz Sistaz ended in a 1-1 draw, and Samartex held Epiphany Warriors to a stalemate.

In the Northern Zone, the opening weekend was characterized by defensive resilience and late drama. Fosu Royal Ladies secured a narrow victory over Ashanti Ladies thanks to a 90th-minute winner, while Prisons Ladies relied on a late equalizer from Abigail Tutuwa to rescue a 1-1 draw against Tamale Super Ladies. The zone also saw two goalless draws, with Dormaa Candy Soccer Ladies and Dreamz Ladies finishing level, as did Supreme Ladies and FC Savannah.

Defending champions Ampem Darkoa Ladies had their opening match postponed as the team prepares for the upcoming WAFU B Women’s Champions League qualifiers. This adjustment leaves the Northern Zone table open for early leaders as the league enters its second week. With competitive starts across both zones, the GoldFields Ghana Women’s Premier League has set a high standard for the season ahead, showcasing the growing depth of talent in Ghanaian women's football.
