Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko with some players of the Black Queens
A leading stalwart of the New Patriotic Party, Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko, has visited the Black Queens to show his support as they prepare for their crucial Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) semifinal against host nation Morocco tonight, July 22, 2025, at the Stade Olympique in Rabat.
Gabby took to X to share photos and a message from his time with the team just before they departed for the Stade Olympique in Rabat.
In his post, he wrote, “Just before the team headed out to the stadium, I got the opportunity to wish the Black Queens the best in their crucial game against host side, Morocco this evening.
“I will cherish these photos with some of the key players, Grace Asantewaa, Chantelle Boye-Hlorkah and Cynthia Konlan, the goalkeeper who saved two penalties to take us through to the semifinals.”
The Black Queens booked their place in the last four for the first time since 2016 after a dramatic penalty shootout victory over Algeria, with Cynthia Konlan emerging as the hero.
They now face a determined Moroccan side, backed by a passionate home crowd, with a place in the final, their first since 2006, at stake.
Tonight’s clash is the first-ever competitive meeting between Ghana and Morocco at this stage of the competition. For Ghana, it’s a chance to break a nine-year semifinal drought and pursue a maiden WAFCON crown.
Morocco, meanwhile, are looking to reach back-to-back finals after finishing runners-up in 2022.
