WAFCON 2024: Black Queens have enough quality to be champions – Kurt Okraku

Published on: 08 December 2023

Ghana Football Association President, Kurt Okraku is confident the Black Queens can annex the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations for the first time in history.

The Ghana Women’s national team has sealed qualification to the WAFCON tournament after edging out Namibia 3-2 on aggregate. The team returns to the continental showpiece after missing out in 2022.

Ghana's best performance at the Women's Africa Cup of Nations has been finishing second on three occasions. The Black Queens lost in the 1998, 2002 and 2006 finals to the Super Falcons of Nigeria.

“We have been to the WAFCON before even though this is a milestone because in five years we have not been there, qualifying alone is not enough," he said following the team's arrival from South Africa.

"This is the time for us to give the rest of Africa a show down. Our best position at the AFCON has been second place years ago but we have enough quality in this team to be African champions," he added.

“Whatever it takes for us to get you prepared for the AFCON in Morocco with the support of Asantewaa the fearless we will make sure this team is ready."
