Black Stars assistant coach John Paintsil has expressed confidence in the potential of the Black Queens, backing them to win the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) in the near future.
Ghana’s senior women’s national team made a remarkable return to the continental stage after missing out since 2018, securing a bronze medal with a dramatic penalty shootout victory over South Africa.
Speaking to Adom FM Sports, Paintsil praised the team’s performance and highlighted the promise within the current squad.
"I see a team with a future and a team that can grow to become a better side than they are now," he said.
"You can also see individual brilliance, and I believe that if they are kept, they will deliver."
Paintsil also noted that the squad had limited time to prepare under a new head coach, making their performance in Morocco even more impressive.
"I don't believe they had more time to train together, and the time they had was limited, and with a new coach coming in, for me, what they did in Morocco was fantastic."
The Black Queens' bronze medal finish has reignited hope for a long-awaited continental title, with Paintsil among many calling for sustained investment and backing for the team.
"One thing I saw about them was the unity, which was very good. These girls need support, and I believe going forward, they will conquer Africa," he added.
