Black Queens Forward Chantelle Boye-Hlorkah, has expressed a strong sense of confidence and pride ahead of Ghana’s first-ever match against England.
Speaking during the pre-match press briefing at St. Mary’s Stadium in Southampton, Boye-Hlorkah emphasized that her team has the ability and spirit to challenge the European champions on their debut meeting.

The former Everton and London City Lionesses attacker conveyed a positive and composed mood within the squad. “We’re excited to play this game.
