The Minister for Sports and Recreation, Kofi Adams, has assured that the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) government is committed to supporting the Black Queens to ensure they excel at the highest level.
Speaking on the floor of parliament on Tuesday, July 29, when the Black Queens visited the House, the Minister said his Ministry is determined to create development pathways for the women’s national team and all other national teams.
“Mr. Speaker, the Ministry of Sports and Recreation remains committed to enhancing the welfare, the training conditions and development pathways for all national teams, including the Black Queens. This performance is a springboard for renewed investment in women’s sports infrastructure and capacity building.
“The government will continue to provide the platform and resources for our female athletes to excel at the highest level,” Mr. Kofi Adams said.
The Black Queens have been celebrated by Parliament today after returning to Ghana at the end of the 2024 WAFCON.
The team had a slow start to the tournament in Morocco, but went all the way to the semi-final, where they lost to the host on penalties.
The Queens beat South Africa in the third-place playoff match to claim the bronze medal.
During their visit to Parliament on Tuesday, the Black Queens received a cash donation of GHS100,000 from the Minority in Parliament.
