After an inspiring campaign at the 2024 TotalEnergies Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) in Morocco, Ghana’s Black Queens are set to return home to a well-deserved hero’s welcome.
The bronze medalists will arrive at Kotoka International Airport on Monday, July 28, at 5:00 am aboard Royal Air Maroc, following a tournament that reignited national pride and showcased the strength and resilience of Ghanaian women’s football.
Led gallantly by captain Portia Boakye, the Black Queens impressed throughout the tournament. They advanced through the group stages with confidence, battled fiercely in the knockout rounds, and narrowly missed out on a place in the final after a dramatic penalty shootout loss to host nation Morocco in the semifinals.
Undeterred, the team rallied for the third-place playoff, where they beat defending champions South Africa on penalties to claim the bronze medal, Ghana’s first WAFCON podium finish in over a decade.
