The Member of Parliament (MP) for Akuapem South Constituency, Lawrencia Dziwornu, has called on the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) government to increase the budget for women's football in the country.
Speaking on the floor of parliament on Tuesday, July 29, Madam Dziwornu stated that she believes the Black Queens will win the next CAF Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) if the government prioritises investment in women's football. "I'm calling on the Minister for Sports and Recreation, the government and all other stakeholders to increase the budget allocated for women's football and prioritise their funding because Mr.
Speaker if we invest right in women's football, I believe the next tournament, they are lifting the cup and bringing it home to Ghana," Lawrencia Dziwornu said.
The Black Queens returned to Ghana on Monday after claiming bronze at the 2024 WAFCON.
