Former Minister for Youth and Sports, Mustapha Ussif has credited the Black Queen’s bronze winning feat at the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations to the part to the initiatives of former president Nana Akufo-Addo.
Ghana defeated South Africa 4-3 on penalties after a 1-1 draw in regulation time to finish as the third best team in the competition.
It was the Queen’s first medal at the continental event in nine years.
"We should not also forget that when COVID happened, for the first time, Nana Akufo-Addo ensured that all Women's Premier League players were put in stipends and most of these players are beneficiaries,” Mustapha said on the floor of Parliament.
"The numerous astroturfs that was constructed across Ghana, most of the clubs play on these astruturfs and that has resulted in the successes that we are chalking.”
Minority in Parliament donated a sum of GH₵100,000 to the Black Queens for their third-place finish.
