- The Black Queens defeated Namibia 3-2 overall in the last qualifying round to guarantee their place in the 2024 Women’s African Cup of Nations (WAFCON) in Morocco. This accomplishment is noteworthy because it demonstrates the team’s resiliency and gives them a chance to change the course of their story. During the qualifications, coach Nora Hauptile and her players have had the honor of working with a team that is nearly exclusively composed of foreign-based players—something that her predecessors were denied because of the “no money” clamor.
- In order to get ready for Morocco 2024, Coach Hauptile has to give local players more confidence and a space to play. In order to end Nigeria’s stronghold on winning the WAFCON, the Queens have demanded increased attention and backing. Ghana has to take a lead from South Africa and Morocco, who have demonstrated that it is both feasible and practicable.
- The Queens’ two main tasks following qualification are the All African Games in Accra in March 2024 and the Olympic qualifying tournament final match versus Zambia in February 2024. The goal should be to “host and win” in order to make up for the 2018 WAFCON debacle and demonstrate that they have taken their rightful position among Africa’s big ladies.
- It is also necessary to provide a ticket to the 2024 Olympics in Paris so that supporters, the squad, and the Ghana Football Association may commemorate the accomplishment.
