The Member of Parliament for Old Tafo, Vincent Ekow Assafuah insists the performance of the Black Queens at the Women's Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco can be credited to the foundation built by the NPP government in the previous administration. The Black Queens defied al odds to reach the semi-final of the 2024 WAFCON after beating Algeria on penalties last Saturday.
Ghana will face host nation Morocco in the semi-final on Tuesday as the quest for a first ever WAFCON title continues.
While Ghanaians celebrate the success of the team, Honourable Assafuah believes the NPP government deserves some praise for some of the policies laid down in reviving women's football in the country. "Beyond the celebration of this victory lies the story of resilience and long-term investments and sustained commitment, particularly in the often underappreciated area of women's football.
While recent support must be acknowledged, this achievement is undeniably built on the foundation laid by the previous New Patriotic Party's government," the ranking member of the Parliamentary select committee on sports said. "We took deliberate steps to reposition women's sports as a national priority.
