Ghana football icon Andre Ayew has praised the Black Queens for their impressive performance at the 2024 Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON).
Ayew, who met the team during a dinner with Vice President Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang on Tuesday, commended the players for showcasing their talent on the continental stage. "Ghanaians really love football, but what you've achieved goes beyond just the sportâyou've made a name for yourselves," Ayew said. "I didn't know some of you before, but now I see how great you all are.
This is just the beginning." The Black Queens returned to Ghana on Monday, July 28, to a heroic welcome after clinching bronze at WAFCON, their first podium finish since 2016.
The team defeated South Africa 4-3 on penalties following a 1-1 draw in the third-place playoff, sparking jubilant celebrations among fans who thronged Kotoka International Airport as early as 4:00 am.
