The Black Queens of Ghana have earned widespread national praise after securing a bronze medal at the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON), marking a triumphant return to the continental podium and reviving hope in Ghanaian women’s football.
Despite entering the tournament with modest expectations due to previous inconsistencies, the Queens defied the odds and delivered a spirited campaign that captured the admiration of fans, public figures, and politicians alike.
Ghana sealed third place following a dramatic 1–1 draw with South Africa’s Banyana Banyana, eventually emerging victorious through a tense penalty shootout. Although the Black Queens controlled large portions of the game and created numerous scoring chances, they were forced to settle the match from the spot.
Their performance has been widely celebrated as a turning point for women’s football in Ghana, with many praising the team’s resilience, tactical discipline, and unity on and off the pitch.
“Their brilliance may not have earned them the trophy, but it captured the hearts of Ghanaians,” remarked a proud supporter.
In recognition of their achievement, the Black Queens were awarded a cash prize of $350,000, further cementing the importance of investing in women’s football in the country.
This campaign has sparked renewed calls for sustained support and development at all levels of the women’s game. For many, this bronze medal is not just a reward but a signal of greater things to come.
As the team returns home, they bring not only medals but momentum and a mission to elevate Ghanaian women’s football to new heights.
