President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Kurt Okraku, has commended the performance of the Black Queens in the ongoing 2024 Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON).
After a shaky start to the tournament, the Black Queens almost came close to playing in the finals of the tournament, but their hopes were dashed after losing 4-2 on penalty shootouts in their semifinal game against Morocco.
Speaking at the launch of the second edition of the Democracy Cup, Mr Okraku highlighted the strides made in the women's game, crediting the team's progress to deliberate efforts by stakeholders to develop the sport at all levels. "Honourable Speaker of Parliament, just to take us back into time, into history, the first senior national team to ever qualify Ghana for a senior World Cup was the Black Queens.
And that happened in 1999. "They first qualified Ghana for the senior World Cup.
