The Black Queens have received a timely boost from Ghana’s Sports Minister, Hon. Kofi Iddie Adams, ahead of their crunch semi-final clash against hosts Morocco in the delayed 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations.
The Minister visited the team’s camp in Morocco to commend their performances and inspire belief ahead of one of their biggest games in recent history. He urged the players to approach the match with confidence and national pride. “Play as if you are home,” he said, calling on them to represent Ghana with heart and discipline.
The visit wasn’t just ceremonial. It included senior ministry officials, Ghana FA representatives, and Ghana’s ambassador to Morocco, Mrs. Charity Gbedawo. Together, they stressed unity and focus, reminding the players that they carry the hopes of an entire nation.
Ghana’s journey to the semifinals has been full of grit and resilience. The Black Queens have impressed with solid defending, quick transitions, and a fearless attitude, which has reignited national support back home. Their win over Algeria in the quarterfinals sent shockwaves across the continent and signaled they are serious title contenders.
Facing Morocco in Rabat will be no easy task. The hosts have home support, but Ghana’s camp believes the team is well-prepared. Welfare and logistics have been secured, ensuring full focus remains on the pitch.
This semifinal is more than just a game. It’s a chance for the Black Queens to write history, reach the final, and perhaps lift Ghana’s first WAFCON title. With the nation watching and the Minister’s words still fresh, the Queens will march into battle with belief.
