By: Francis Ofori

Accra, Nov. 22, GNA – The Black Queens of Ghana have been caged in Group C of the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) alongside title holders South Africa, Mali and Tanzania 

The Queens joined the long list of qualified teams who would be making a trip to Morocco after defeating the Brave Gladiators of Namibia in their final match last year. 

Few months after being given the nod to take charge of the senior side, Coach Nora Hauptel made a comeback into the continental party to end Ghana’s five-year drought. 

The Swiss gaffer, who had won the hearts of many Ghanaians would once again gather a formidable team to face the rest of Africa.  

This year’s edition would mark Ghana’s eighth appearance with hopes of winning the coveted title for the first time.  

The team’s best performance came during the 2006 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations after losing to Nigeria by a lone goal in the finals.  

The 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations is scheduled for July 5 to 26,2025 in Morocco.
