The Black Queens of Ghana received a significant financial boost from Ghana’s Parliamentary Minority on Monday, following their historic bronze medal finish at the 2024 TotalEnergies Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) in Morocco.
During a visit to the Parliament of Ghana as part of their national victory tour on Tuesday, July 29, 2025, the Minority Caucus, led by Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin, added a tangible gesture of appreciation.
In a heartfelt moment on the floor of Parliament, Afenyo-Markin announced a donation of GH¢100,000 to the Black Queens on behalf of the Minority.
The move was met with cheers across the chamber and symbolised a rare show of unity in celebrating national achievement.
Earlier in the day, the team had been hosted to a special breakfast meeting by the Ghana Football Association (GFA), led by President Kurt Edwin Simeon-Okraku and members of the Executive Council.
The Queens clinched third place at WAFCON 2024 after a dramatic 4–3 penalty shootout victory over South Africa.
The bronze medal marks Ghana’s first podium finish in the competition since 2016, ending a long wait and sparking nationwide celebrations.
Their victory has not only reignited interest in women’s football but also drawn commendations from across the political divide.
