In a post on her official X (formerly Twitter) account, the Vice President praised the team’s performance, describing it as a display of resilience, teamwork, and national pride.
“Congratulations, Black Queens, for securing the third place in the Women’s AFCON! You’ve shown incredible resilience, teamwork, and national pride throughout this tournament.
“Thank you for flying the flag high and for making Ghana proud. This is just the beginning. Onward and upward, Queens!” she wrote.
