We will soon give nicknames to newly created national teams - Henry Asante Twum

Published on: 25 April 2024

Henry Asante Twum, Communications Director for the Ghana Football Association (GFA), announced that the executive council will soon convene to assign nicknames to the newly established national teams for both the male and female sides.

As of now, only the U-15 women's team has been christened with a nickname, the Black Damsels, following a change from their previous moniker, Golden. The remaining newly created national teams are yet to receive their nicknames.

Twum suggested that the public may be invited to submit potential names and recommendations, a practice that led to the renaming of the Local Black Stars to Black Galaxies, the beach soccer team to Black Sharks, and the Futsal team to Futsal Black Stars.

In an interview with Peace FM as monitored by Footballghana.com, Twum stated, "I am sure very soon the ExCo will convene a meeting and look into it... So I think the authorities will say people should bring suggestions but all in all the power rest with the executive council so in naming the newly created national teams it will not be long we will announce them,"
