Ghana’s First and Second Lady have congratulated the Black Queens for their splendid performance last Saturday, at the ongoing African Women Cup (AWCON) 2018 at the Accra Sports Stadium.

Mrs. Rebecca Akufo-Addo in tweet said: “I am so proud of our Black Queens! They played so well yesterday beating Algeria by a goal. We truly have to throw our weight behind them & support them all the way.Let us try to make it to the stadium to boost their morale in the games ahead. Keep soaring fearless Black Queens!”

 

The two ladies who were at the staduim to lend their support to the female national team asked Ghanains to throw their weight behind the team to win the ultimate for our country.

“Let us all come together, for that which gives us pride; our football, and cheer our queens on, to win the ultimate for our country.”

 

For her part, Mrs. Samira Bawumia said “Congratulations to our gallant Black Queens for winning the opening match of the 2018 Total Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (AWCON), against the Fennecs of Algeria in, Accra.”

Diginitaries who accompanied the First and second ladies where the sports minister, Isaac Asiamah and Freda Prempeh, Chairperson of the Local Organizing Committee (LOC) and The Member of Parliament for the Tano North Constituency.

 

In a related development, the head coach for the team, Bashiru Hayford said, the Queens could have scored more goals, if they had not been wasteful in front of goal.

According to Bashiru Hayford, the Queens squandered a lot of chances, which should have been converted to get more goals, but they were squandered.

“we played a very good game and created a lot of chances, which we should have scored.

“We didn’t struggle in scoring the goals but we just wasted the chances but we thank God we held on to the lone goal, we would work on that in our subsequent matches,” he added.

Gladys Amfobea’s lone goal was enough for the queens to get on a good start in their opening game for the 11th biennial championship as they await to finish the group games against Mali and Cameroon on November 20 and 23, 2018 respectively.
