Kofi Adams, the Minister for Sports and Recreation has thrown his weight behind the Black Queens of Ghana ahead of the 2024 Women’s African Cup of Nations tournament in Morocco.
The Black Queens returns to the Women’s elite tournament following seven-year absence, having last participated in 2018.
Paired in Group C, Ghana must beat off competitions against defending champions South Africa, Tanzania and Mali to secure a place in the knockout stage.
“On behalf of the President of Ghana, John Dramani Mahama and the good people of Ghana, I extend our heartfelt wishes to the Black Queens as they prepare for the Women’s African Cup of Nations in Morocco scheduled from July5-July 26.
“As the Minister for Sports and Recreation, I want to affirm that the entire nation is firmly with you and we trust in your ability to represent Ghana with distinction and excellence” he said.
The Black Queens will open their account against South Africa on July 7 and are aiming for a flying start to the tournament.
Ghana has already played two friendly matches in Morocco, defeating Malawi 3-1 and inflicting a 4-2 win over Benin. They are expected to take on Nigeria in their final preparatory match on Saturday.
