Former Black Queens head coach, Mercy Tagoe Quarcoo, has thrown her full support behind the national team despite their challenging start at the ongoing 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) in Morocco.
Making their first appearance at the tournament since 2018, Ghana has struggled in Group C, sitting bottom with just one point after a 2-0 loss to South Africa and a 1-1 draw with Mali.
With quarterfinal hopes hanging by a thread, the Black Queens must secure a win in their final group game against Tanzania tonight to stand a chance of progressing to the knockout stage.
Speaking in an interview with CAFOnline, Tagoe Quarcoo praised the Confederation of African Football (CAF) for its commitment to growing the women’s game and expressed her belief in the team’s ability to turn things around.
“Women’s football has really come of age, and I thank God that FIFA is really pushing hard. CAF is also pushing very hard. All the MAs [Member Associations] are pushing very hard,” she said.
“Every Ghanaian wants to see the Black Queens winning the Cup. I’m a Ghanaian. I want us to win the Cup. And I believe in these girls that we have assembled.”
Kick-off for the decisive encounter is scheduled for 19:00 GMT at the Stade Municipal de Berkane.
