The Black Queens at the Parliament House
The Black Queens of Ghana continued their victory tour on a high note as they paid a courtesy call to Ghana’s Parliament on Tuesday, July 29, 2025, days after clinching a hard-fought bronze medal at the 2024 TotalEnergies Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) in Morocco.
Earlier in the morning, the Ghana Football Association (GFA), led by President Kurt Edwin Simeon-Okraku and Executive Council members, hosted the Queens to a special breakfast meeting in Accra.
The gathering was not only a celebration of their success but also a moment of reflection, unity, and motivation for the journey ahead.
The team, brimming with pride, then proceeded to the Parliament of Ghana, where they were warmly received by the Speaker and Members of Parliament.
They were dressed in their ceremonial team attire and proudly displaying their bronze medals.
Their third-place finish at WAFCON 2024 came after a dramatic 4–3 penalty shootout victory over reigning champions South Africa.
The thrilling encounter at Stade Larbi Zaouli in Casablanca had ended 1–1 in regulation time, with Nonhlanhla Mthandi putting Banyana Banyana ahead just before halftime.
But the Black Queens, undeterred by the setback and drawing inspiration from their earlier group-stage loss to the same opponent, rallied back through a strong second-half display that forced penalties.
Ghana’s resilience prevailed in the shootout, where goalkeeper Cynthia Konlan emerged as the hero with two decisive saves.
The result not only avenged their group-stage defeat but also earned the Queens their first WAFCON medal since 2016.
