Ghana midfielder Chantelle Boye-Hlorkah has praised her teammates following the Black Queens’ emphatic qualification to the quarterfinals of the ongoing 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) in Morocco.
After a difficult start to the tournament, the Black Queens bounced back in style, thrashing Tanzania 4-1 in their final Group C encounter on Monday night at the Stade Municipal de Berkane.
Goals from Princella Adubea, Alice Kusi, Evelyn Badu, and Boye-Hlorkah herself sealed a dominant performance that secured Ghana second place in the group and a spot in the last eight.
Speaking after the match, Boye-Hlorkah—who is making her WAFCON debut—expressed pride in the team’s resilience and unity.
“I am just proud, so proud of the girls. I try and lead. I am very vocal on the pitch. I try and push the team as much as I can. The girls picked me up, too,” she said.
“I told them that we are not going to win this game without playing as a team. I am so proud of Ghana, of the fans. I am so proud to be Ghanaian,” the England-born midfielder added.
The Black Queens will now prepare to face Algeria in the quarterfinals on Saturday, July 19. The match is scheduled to kick off at 17:00 GMT, once again at the Stade Municipal de Berkane.
