Vice President Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang Backs Black Queens Ahead of WAFCON Semifinal Showdown
Vice President of Ghana, Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, has expressed her unwavering support for the Black Queens as they continue their pursuit of glory at the 2024 Africa Women’s Cup of Nations (WAFCON).
The national women’s team booked their place in the semifinals of the continental competition following a dramatic 4-2 penalty shootout victory over Algeria, after a tense goalless draw that extended through extra time on Saturday.
The result sees Ghana reach the last four of the tournament for the first time since 2016, reigniting national hope for a maiden WAFCON title.
In a message shared on social media, Professor Opoku-Agyemang commended the Black Queens for their hard-fought performance and encouraged them to remain focused as they prepare to face hosts Morocco in the semifinal clash.
“A big congratulations to our Black Queens for their remarkable victory over Algeria to secure a spot in the Women’s AFCON semi-finals. As they prepare to face Morocco, we salute their resilience and urge them to keep pushing. The whole nation is behind you. The dream is alive.”
Ghana will next take on Morocco in a crucial semifinal encounter on Tuesday, July 23, 2025, with a place in the final at stake.
