â??We crawled so they can runâ?: Bayor reflects on Black Queens' legacy at WAFCON

Former Black Queens captain and current team official Grace Adjoa Bayor says the current generation of Black Queens is standing on the shoulders of pioneers who fought hard for recognition.Bayor is part of the team in Morocco as Ghana compete at the 2024 WAFCON after missing out on the last edition.We opened the way for them. We crawled so that they can run, Bayor said. They have everything that they need to perform at this level. The WAFCON has grown in leaps and bounds from what it was in 1998 on and off the pitch. It has been incredible to experience the growth.Bayor, who was part of the Ghana side that reached the final of the maiden WAFCON in 1998 and qualified for the FIFA Womens World Cup in 1999, believes the present setup has far more support.There is a big difference from an organisational point of view as well as financially speaking. The prize money is now up to $1 million. That is massive from CAF, she added.The former midfielder remains proud of the strides womens football has made in Ghana and across the continent.Black Queens have not secured a win after two games and need to beat Tanzania to stay alive in the competition.  Read Full Story
