Sports Minister Kofi Adams has sent a heartfelt message of support to the Black Queens as they gear up for the 2025 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) in Morocco.
Ghana has been drawn into Group C alongside South Africa, Mali, and Tanzania.
Under the guidance of Head Coach Kim Lars Björkegren, the Black Queens will be aiming to secure a long-awaited return to the FIFA Women’s World Cup — their first since 2007.
In his message, the Minister praised the growing influence and impact of women’s football in Ghana:
“In recent years, women’s football has become one of the brightest lights in our sporting landscape. From the Maidens to the Black Princesses, and now the Black Queens, your performances have consistently lifted the nation and reminded us of what is possible through commitment and belief. You have been bold, focused, and fearless — and for that, we salute you.”
He reaffirmed the government’s dedication to the development of the women’s game:
“I want to reassure you that the Government remains fully committed to supporting women’s football at every level. You have done your part, and we will continue to do ours — through investment, exposure, and the right structures to help you succeed. Your performance, your resilience, and your results have earned you that.”
The Black Queens will kick off their WAFCON 2025 campaign against reigning champions South Africa on Monday, 7th July 2025.
