Ghana’s President, H.E Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has called on Ghanaians to throw their weight behind the Black Queens as they take on Zambia in the final leg of the 2024 Olympic Games qualifier on Wednesday.
The Black Queens and Copper Queens will square off tomorrow at the Levi Mwanawasa Stadium in Zambia to determine who makes it to the final qualifying round.
The Ghanian female senior national team is currently in Zambia with the hopes of winning the second leg following their 1-0 loss to the Copper Queens last week in Ghana.
Speaking to the nation today during the State of the Nations Address, President Akufo-Addo urged Ghanaians to help the Black Queens win tomorrow by throwing their support behind them.
“Mr. Speaker, the senior Women’s team the Black Queens who do not get half the attention the Black Stars get, have been performing quite creditably. They had gone for ten (10) matches without any loss until last December’s when they lost narrowly to Namibia in Windhoek in the final qualifying round for the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations.
“Even though they lost narrowly to Zambia in the first leg of the qualifiers for the 2024 Olympic Games, let us wish them well in the second leg to be played in Lusaka tomorrow, and hope they give us something to cheer about,” President Akufo-Addo said.
