Black Queens midfielder Chantelle Boye-Hlorkah says their campaign will only be described as a success if they win the ongoing 2024 Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON). Ghana, for the first time in nine years, have booked a place in the quarterfinal of the tournament following a 4-1 win against Tanzania in their final Group C game on Monday.
Speaking to Joy Sports, the midfielder believes the Black Queens have earned the right to be respected on the continent. "[This tournament will only be successful for me] when we take the trophy," she said. "I think we deserve it.
I think we deserve the respect from African football. "I want to give this continent so much respect, but I also want to gain it.
The only way you gain it is by performing, by showing who we are. "So a successful tournament for me is taking home the only thing that you can take home [the trophy]," he added.
