Kofi Adams (M) with some players of the Black Queens
Minister of Sports and Recreation, Kofi Adams, has paid a morale-boosting visit to the Black Queens’ training camp as they gear up for a pivotal semifinal showdown against host nation Morocco at the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) on Tuesday, July 22, 2025.
The Buem MP, who earlier supported the team with a $2,000 cash gift after their quarterfinal qualification, once again demonstrated his commitment by meeting the squad in camp.
His presence is expected to lift the spirits of the Queens as they chase their first-ever continental title.
The Black Queens booked their place in the semifinals for the first time since 2016 after edging past Algeria in a dramatic penalty shootout.
Now, they face a formidable Moroccan side, spurred on by passionate home support, for a coveted spot in the final, their first since 2006.
Tuesday’s clash at the Stade Olympique in Rabat marks the first competitive meeting between Ghana and Morocco at this stage of the tournament.
For Ghana, it’s a chance to end a nine-year wait for a semifinal appearance and break new ground by lifting their maiden WAFCON trophy.
For Morocco, it’s an opportunity to reach consecutive finals after falling short against South Africa in 2022.
The game will kickoff at 7 pm local time.
