Former Black Stars captain André Ayew has lauded the Black Queens for their outstanding display at the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON).
Ayew, a U-20 World Cup champion, met the team during a dinner hosted by Vice President Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang on Tuesday, where he applauded the squad for their remarkable talent and determination on the continental stage.
“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,” he added.
The Black Queens returned to Ghana on Monday, July 28, to a warm and heroic reception following their bronze medal finish at WAFCON — their first podium finish since 2016.
They secured third place by edging South Africa 4-3 in a tense penalty shootout after a 1-1 draw in the playoff match.
