Former Black Stars captain Andre Ayew has showered praise on the Black Queens following their impressive third-place finish at the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON).
Speaking during a dinner hosted by Vice Presidential candidate Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang on Tuesday evening, Ayew commended the team for their determination, unity, and the pride they’ve brought to the nation.
“Ghanaians really love football, but what you’ve achieved goes beyond just the sport. You’ve made a name for yourselves,” Ayew said.
“I didn’t know some of you before, but now I see how great you all are. This is just the beginning.”
The Black Queens returned to Ghana on Monday, July 28, to a rousing welcome after securing bronze at the continental tournament — their first medal finish at WAFCON since 2016.
They beat South Africa, who were the winners of the previous edition, to claim the bronze with 4-2 win on penalties.
