Black Queens will now face defending champions South Africa in the third-place playoff
President of the Ghana Football Association, Kurt Okraku believes the Black Queens will bounce back from their WAFCON 2024 semi-final heartbreak to win the tournament in future.
The Black Queens put up a resilient display against hosts Morocco on Tuesday July 22, 2025, in Rabat but unfortunately failed to reach the finals following a penalty shootout defeat.
Ghana opened the scoring through Stella Nyamekye before spurning several chances as the Atlas Lionesses took advantage of a second half mistake to level the scoreline and force the game to penalties.
Evelyn Badu and Comfort Yeboah missed from the spot as the Black Queens fell short.
Despite the disappointment, the FA boss took to social media to console the team while confidently stating the Black Queens will be triumphant soon.
“We will soon be champions if we build on this!” he posted on Facebook immediately after the game.
The team were making a return to the tournament for the first time in seven years and last reached the semi-final in 2016 before their latest exploits.
Ghana will now face South Africa for bronze on Saturday as the tournament comes to a conclusion.
